Charges of Domestic Assault and Battery and Assault and Battery on a Person Over 60 Dismissed
On August 4, 2019 police in a Boston suburb were called to a home for a report of an assault on an elderly person. They were met by the victim, an 84 year old man who claimed that he and his son were arguing. His son pushed him to the ground causing bleeding and bruising. The defendant claimed that the victim was the initial aggressor. Based on the evidence and the statements of the parties the police arrested the son and charged him with domestic assault and battery under G.L. c. 265 Section 13M and assault and battery on a person over the age of 60, G.L. c 265 Section 13K. The latter crime is a felony in Massachusetts. Today, we were able to have all charges dismissed.
