Charges of assault and battery, assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon and intimidation of a witness dismissed against Salem man

Salem District Court # 07-0674. The complaining witness reported to Salem police that on March 3, 2007 she had a verbal argument with her husband that turned violent. Specifically, the woman reported that the defendant struck her on both sides of her head with an open hand. The impact was so hard that she became light headed and fell to the ground. The defendant then climbed on top of her and placed both hands around her throat and began to choke her. The defendant subsequently picked up a dust pan and struck the complainant multiple times on her legs and thighs stopping only when the dust pan broke. The defendant then purportedly grabbed the woman by the head and held her head up against the wall. The defendant hired our offices and Attorney Neyman quickly moved to get the case scheduled for trial on September 12, 2007. That day our office convinced the court to dismiss the case.
