Domestic Assault and Battery Charges Against Graduate Student Dismissed

The defendant is a man in his early twenties recently admitted to one of the most prestigious graduate programs in the country. On February 16, 2017 Boston police responded to a call for a domestic assault at a posh downtown home. They arrived to find a woman (witness) directing them to a bedroom where another woman (victim) was found, crying and bruised. The witness told officers that she saw the defendant break into the victim’s room and close the door. She heard screaming consistent with an assault and called the police. The victim told the responding officers that her boyfriend, the defendant had struck her during an argument. Her visible injuries corroborated her statement. The defendant was arrested and charged with domestic assault and battery in violation of G.L. c. 26 Section 13M. Attorney Neyman was retained to represent the man. A conviction or any type of admission would have resulted in a revocation of the defendant’s acceptance to the graduate program. Today, Attorney Neyman was able to get the case dismissed.
