Pretrial Probation for Non-Citizen Charged With Assault and Battery
Our client is a non-citizen student in Boston. In February of 2020 he and his girlfriend were in a pizza restaurant. It was late at night and the establishment was closing at the time our client arrived. Our client inquired as to why the restaurant was closing over one hour prior to the indicated closing time. The owner became verbally abusive. Our client argued back. In a matter of seconds a fight erupted. The police were called. The restaurant owner and our client made statements to the responding officers. Our client was subsequently charged with assault and battery under G.L. c. 265 section 13A. COVID delayed the proceeding significantly in this case. Nevertheless, we were able to get pretrial probation pursuant to G.L. c. 276 section 87 for our client. This will not impact his citizenship efforts.
