No
jail, no probation following assault of wife
2020
Our client was
arrested for reportedly grabbing and slamming his wife on the floor of their apartment
which was witnessed by his wife’s child. Our client was facing up
to a year of
jail. The
prosecutor wanted to bring our client to trial and had recommended a six month sentence
to the judge based on the injuries, our client’s lack of remorse,
and the strength of their case because they had an eye witness. We provided
mitigating information that showed the prosecutor that there was more
to the story that what she was told. After lengthy negotiations, we arrived
at a substantially improved deal that avoided
jail all together. Case resolved with a
misdemeanor, no
jail, no probation,
counseling.
