Assault and Battery
Threats to commit a crime
Intimidation of a Witness
Disturbing the Peace
Client was charged with the above charges after police alleged that a person reported that his girlfriend had been choked by him earlier in the evening. During this alleged event, it was reported to police that the defendant kicked her door resulting in damage. The value of the door was estimated to be worth nearly $1000. The girlfriend was also charged for her conduct during the police investigation. Attorney Barabino was able to negotiate a dismissal for three of the four charges, since the victim was unavailable to testify due to her charges. With the girlfriend fully participating with the defense, Attorney Barabino placed the remaining charge on for a trial before a judge. At the trial, the required witness did not appear, and as a result, a dismissal was requested and granted by the judge.
RESULT: ALL CHARGES DISMISSED, NO REQUIRED RESTITUTION FOR DAMAGED DOOR
