Indecent Assault and Battery over 14
Client was a productive and healthy young man who developed serious mental health challenges in recent years. The challenges were significant but with the assistance, support and attention of a loving family they sought out and encouraged treatment. With the onset of mental health challenges came some criminal cases. They came to Attorney Barabino as they were unsatisfied with their prior criminal lawyer. That lawyer tried to enter a plea which would also be required registration with the sex offender registry board, (“SORB”). Client declined the plea and then hired Attorney Barabino where he obtained all medical documentation, interview of parties and developed a plan. They hired a doctor and eventually requested a trial. They went to trial and client was found Not Guilty.
RESULT: Not Guilty, By Reason of Mental Disease or Defect.
