Domestic violence assault on video dismissed in Manhattan
2020
Lance’s client allegedly
assaulted a coworker and former intimate partner. The
assault happened outside and was captured by a security camera. Client admitted
to being in the footage and, therefore, that client had assaulted the
complainant. Lance fought this on the grounds that there was insufficient proof of
injury and he raised issues about the discovery that had been turned over by the
prosecutor. Due to certain legal issues, Lance was able to negotiate an outcome where
the case would be completely dismissed as long as a 12 month order of
protection was obeyed.
