July 12th 2016
Assault and Battery
Client was a hard working electrician accused by family member of assault and battery. The family member was relentless in her pursuit, alleging long term abuse. In this event she alleged that long term abuse by an alcohol abusing family member resulted in a bruise on her leg and PTSD. After intensive discovery pursuits of relevant materials, the case was scheduled for trial. On the day of trial, a last minute deal was struck whereby the defendant was to admit to “sufficient facts” for the charge and agree to be on probation for a period of a year. He would also complete and anger management program and alcohol screens—only if an independent evaluator determines he has a problem with alcohol. Otherwise, if the conditions are met, after one year of time, his case will be terminated with a dismissal.
RESULT: Assault and Battery, CONDITIONAL PROBATION WITHOUT GUILT.
