Violation: Aggravated Domestic Assault
Facing: Up to 15 years imprisonment; Fine of up to $15,000.00
Result: Client released from jail, no further jail time required
Additional Details: The client was charged with aggravated domestic assault based on allegations of serious abuse and injuries to his wife. The police testified that the client’s wife was found face down in a pool of blood, with the house littered with bullet holes. As in most domestic abuse allegations, the accused was under a conditional bond, prohibiting him from living in his own home and speaking to his wife of twenty years. The wife then began calling and visiting the husband and the two violated other bail conditions of drinking and use of other illegal substances while together, which resulted in the client’s bond being revoked. Mr. Lannom conducted a sentencing hearing whereupon the client was released from jail and no further jail time was required.
