Multiple Felony Charges Dismissed Prior to Arraignment After Successful Completion of Adult Diversion Program
During a mental breakdown the defendant broke into an elderly person’s home, assaulted him and damaged his personal property. The responding police officers immediately noticed something wrong with the defendant and had her committed to a hospital for evaluation. She was charged with malicious destruction to property over $1,200, G.L. c. 266 section 127, breaking and entering G.L. c. 266 section 16, assault and battery on an elderly person, G.L. c. 265 section 13K and several other crimes. We had the arraignment continued several times to get our client evaluated. We ultimately prevailed upon the district attorney and the judge for pre-arraignment. Our client followed all ordered procedures and successfully completed the pre-arraignment diversion program. Today, all charged were dismissed prior to arraignment.
