Our firm recently secured a victory for a client charged with Aggravated Assault and Battery. Under cross-examination by our attorneys, the alleged victim admitted that he was not in fear of bodily harm when our client held a knife to his throat. Because one of the elements of aggravated assault is an “imminent fear of bodily harm,” the judge was forced to throw out the charge of aggravated assault. Our firm then filed a motion to dismiss the battery charge, citing self-defense. The prosecutor opted to withdraw that charge as well. The client, once facing over a year in prison, will now serve no time in jail.
