Client was living with his mother and had a history of various criminal offenses. At one point client's step-father called police and filed a restraining order against him. When police interviewed the mother, she reported that the defendant had tried to strangle her two weeks prior. A Dangerous Hearing was held since the District Attorney believed defendant was too dangerous to be considered for bail. Attorney Barabino argued for release and was successful. The case moved to trial. At trial, the lack of available witnesses for the prosecution resulted in Attorney Barabino requesting and receiving a dismissal.
RESULT: RELEASED at Dangerousness Hearing 58A and ALL CHARGES DISMISSED AT TRIAL.
