Domestic Assault and Battery Case Against Local Engineer to be Dismissed

On December 3, 2013 members of the Acton, Massachusetts police department responded to a 911 call for a woman who was being hit. The officers were met by the victim and the defendant. The two were separated and the officers obtained statements from both parties. The victim stated that the couple were arguing about various household issues. The dispute escalated. The defendant became very animated, using his hands and making threatening gestures. This culminated with the defendant striking the victim in the wrists and leaving a mark that was noticeable by the police. The defendant admitted to one of the officers that he did in fact strike the victim. A 911 tape preserved. The recording was made contemporaneously with the incident. The defendant was charged with domestic assault and battery. Today, Attorney Neyman convinced a judge to continue the case without a finding. The matter will be dismissed in thirty days and the defendant will have no criminal record.
