Charges of Aggravated Assault and Battery and Intimidation of a Witness Against Software Engineer Dismissed

In December last year, a woman who lived in an elegant apartment building heard noises in a common stairwell. While doing so she claimed that our client, his brother and another individual came up behind her, held her down and started to beat her. While doing so they threatened her about calling the police. They also made threats based on her race and racial language accompanied the assaults. Arrests were made charging our client and his brother with intimidation of a witness, G.L. c. 268 section 13B, threatening to commit a crime, G.L. c. 275 section 2, conspiracy, G.L. c. 274 section 7, assault and battery, G.L. c. 265 section 13A, assault and battery to intimidate a person because of her race or color, G.L. c. 265 section 39 and a criminal civil rights violation with injury, G.L. c. 265 section 37. Using digital technology our office was able to track our client’s movement the day of the incident and demonstrate that he was more than 500 miles away at that time. The evidence convinced the district attorney’s office to nolle prosse the case. Today, all charges were dismissed.
