YET ANOTHER RECENT VICTORY! Once again, my client with no criminal background was charged with BATTERY. The State’s Attorney offered my client court supervision, which is not a conviction and could eventually be expunged from his record. Considering the facts of the case, I highly recommended that he reject the offer and set the case for trial. The allegations were that my client grabbed the victim using two fingers at the base of her neck and then walked away. The victim never reported the incident to the police or sought a warrant for his arrest. 7 weeks later, she sees him on the street and yells at him. He then allegedly, from across the street, threatens to slap her. The victim then calls the police and informed them that my client grabbed her by the neck 7 weeks ago! For some reason, the police arrest my client not for what occurred on the date of the arrest, but for something that occurred weeks ago. Even the judge couldn’t figure out why my client was charged and granted my motion for directed finding. NOT GUILTY!
