Shoplifting
Malicious Destruction of Property
The client was charged with two separate criminal complaints. One complaint stated that he was shoplifting at a local mall and another criminal complaint alleged that he maliciously broke a neighbor's window after a dispute. Attorney Barabino sought the expert advice of a reputable doctor to examine the client to determine if he was competent enough to stand trial. Prior to the results being provided, the District Attorney agreed to pre-trial probation which allows a full dismissal with no admission of any crime after a three month period of time, with no obligation to the court other than to pay $100 for the broken window.
Result: CASE DISMISSED
