General Continuance for Construction Worker Charged With Domestic Assault and Battery and Strangulation and Intimidation of a Witness
Our client is a construction worker who recently opened his own business. He was recently at a family gathering in northern Essex County. He and his wife got into an argument. The argument was fueled by the wife’s family insulting the man. According to witnesses the defendant became enraged by the onslaught of barbs and ended up hitting his wife. He then grabbed her by the neck and choked her. She tried to call 911 at which time he threw her phone in the woods. The wife’s family subdued him and called 911. The man was arrested and charged with domestic assault and battery under G.L. c. 265 section 13M, strangulation under G.L. c. 265 section 15D and intimidation of a witness under G.L. c. 268 section 13B. The latter two charges are felonies. Our office was able to get a general continuance for the defendant. In six months the case will be dismissed.
