Client was a single male. Over a three-day period, he was aggressive and repeatedly physically violent against complainant who client had been in a dating relationship with. The allegation included at one point lifting her off her feet and destroying her phone. A portion of this violence was caught on admissible video. The sister of the complainant ultimately went to the police with accuser. After the complainant went to a medical professional and obtained EMS services, she obtained a restraining order against client. Complainant’s family was angry, scared, and concerned. Client did not want to go to trial and instead wanted to plead guilty to all charges. Attorney Barabino was able to obtain a trial date for the case and ultimately secure dismissal of two felonies charged, one of which was strangulation.
RESULT: TWO felonies Dismissed.
