Felony Charge of Assault on Person Over 60 Reduced to Misdemeanor and Continued Without a Finding in Highly Publicized Road Rage Case

In March of this year our client and another woman were driving on a major Massachusetts highway. After nearly getting run off of the road our client stopped to avoid a collision. The other vehicle stopped behind her and approached our client in a threatening manner. Our client was then attacked by the driver of the other car, a woman over the age of 60. Conflicting eyewitness accounts were related to the police who ultimately charged both defendants with various crimes. Our client was charged with assault, G.L. c. 265 Section 13A, assault and battery on a person over the age of 60, a felony under G.L. c. 265 Section 13K disorderly conduct under G.L. c. 272 Section 53 and reckless operation of a motor vehicle under G.L. c. 90 Section 24. This case was highly publicized. Attorney Neyman convinced the district attorney to reduce the felony to a misdemeanor and to have all charges continued without a finding. All charges will be dismissed after a successful completion of the probationary period.
