Violation: Domestic Assault
Result: Charge Dismissed
Female client was charged with punching her husband in the eye, receiving a charge of domestic assault. Husband desired to keep his 17 year old son from testifying and advised the prosecuting attorney he was out of state visiting a relative. We were able to get the son on the phone, confirming that he was in fact in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee at the father’s house, with the father’s knowledge. Upon this information being provided to the District Attorney General the case was dismissed in spite of our client’s husband insisting on a conviction. Case dismissed.
