Domestic Assault and Battery Against Non-Citizen Dismissed

The defendant is a non-citizen legally residing in Massachusetts. He received a Masters Degree from a local university and is working in the Boston area. On October 10, 2016 a Boston Police Officer was on patrol and observed the defendant arguing with a woman at the intersection of Brighton Avenue and Harvard Avenue. The officer saw the defendant repeatedly shove and grab into a brick wall. He immediately stopped his cruiser and arrested the defendant. Attorney Stephen Neyman was hired the next day. The man was charged with violating G.L. c. 265 Section 13M and G.L. c. 265 Section 13A. There was a troubling twist to this case as well. For some reason unknown to the defendant Homeland Security was monitoring this case and made clear to the defendant that he would be arrested and deported if convicted of this offense. For immigration purposes a CWOF would be considered a conviction. Today, Attorney Neyman was able to get the case dismissed.
