Felony Assault on a police officer in Brooklyn resolved with a violation,
no criminal record, no jail, no probation
2016
Our Client accused of assaulting a police officer by running him over following
an argument about being double parked. Client was a licensed professional
facing a possible state prison sentence and, as a convicted felon, the
end of his career. The Brooklyn District Attorney can be very aggressive
when prosecuting assault cases in which the victim is a police or law
enforcement officer. Conviction could have led to five years in state
prison and a permanent felony conviction for a violent offense. Outcome:
All criminal charges dropped, no criminal conviction, no jail time following
negotiations with the prosecutor after we pressed the prosecutor for certain
missing evidence that we detected.
