Client was a pleasant and engaging young man that was transitioning to a new school to get a fresh start with a loving and supportive uncle, aunt and cousins. Despite efforts of the receiving family, this young man found himself hanging around a group of peers that found trouble. After a lengthy investigation by police and the school it was determined that this group of students stole a variety of items from the school locker(s). Client and the others admitted there wrongdoing to the school and charges were filed and a hearing was scheduled for a Magistrate Hearing. A Magistrate Hearing allows for a screening of cases which can, in some situations, permit a case to be resolved at the hearing(s). This is vitally important as it allows for a case to be resolved before the formal “arraignment” which is when something goes on someone’s criminal record. Here, the matter was resolved and did not go forward. Case Dismissed.
RESULT: Restitution Paid by Agreement and the Case Does Not Get Issued.
