Charges of Assault and Battery Involving a Bar Fight Dismissed
On August 27, 2020 police in a suburban town were dispatched to a Chinese restaurant for a report of a bar fight. The owner of the restaurant, several employees and a few patrons provided similar accounts of the incident. In sum, our client and another patron got into an argument. Neither knew the other. The argument escalated into a physical altercation. The incident was caught on a security video. Both individuals were charged with assault and battery under G.L. c. 265 section 13A. Attorney Neyman contacted the other individual’s lawyer. Both agreed to invoke their valid respective 5th Amendment rights. The judge permitted each to do so at the pretrial hearing. Consequently, the district attorney’s office agreed that they could not proceed without the testimony of the defendants. The judge allowed our motions to dismiss.
