Pretrial Probation Under G.L. c. 276 Section 87 For Three Months for Non-Citizen Law Student Charged With Beating Wife

The defendant is a third year law student in Boston. He was charged on two occasions with assaulting and beating his wife in violation of G.L. c. 265 Section 13M. The first incident occurred on May 4, 2018. On that date, officers responded to an apartment and found a woman, the defendant’s wife, complaining of pain to her ribs. She was dizzy and nauseous as well. She told the police that earlier that day, while walking to the gym her husband grabbed her by the hair and pulled her down the street. When she resisted he struck her in the ribs several times. She lost her breath and consciousness for a brief period of time. A civilian witnessed the incident and reported it to the police. The man was arrested and charged with the crime. About one month later, with the first case pending, the wife again called 911. She reported that the defendant had hit her in the head and then pushed her head into the bedroom wall. Again the defendant was arrested and charged with the same domestic assault and battery offense. The cases were consolidated. Today, Attorney Neyman was able to get pretrial probation under G.L. c. 276 Section 87 for three months. The man, who is a non-citizen will have no record and no immigration problems. Probation will terminate prior to his graduation from law school.
