Pretrial Probation For School Teacher Charged With Felony Domestic Assault and Battery on a Pregnant Person

Our client is a teacher at a prestigious prep school in Massachusetts. In March of this year he and his wife who was nearly nine months pregnant got into an argument. The wife became violent in the home and started throwing and breaking all kinds of household objects. Some of these struck our client. The noise became loud enough to alarm several neighbors. The wife then left the home, slammed the door and began verbally insulting and yelling at our client from the front lawn. The defendant tried to calm his wife down and gently tried to move her from the lawn into the house. A neighbor witnessed this an interpreted these actions as an assault on the wife. He called the police. The officers responded, arrested our client and charged him with domestic assault and battery on a pregnant person. This is a felony in Massachusetts in violation of G.L. c. 265 section 13A. Our office was hired. Attorney Neyman convinced the district attorney’s office to give pretrial probation under G.L. c. 276 section 87 to our client. The case will be dismissed in a few months.
