Charges of Domestic Assault and Battery do not Issue After Clerk Magistrate Hearing-2
On March 7, 2018 members of the Boston Police Domestic Violence unit responded to a Jamaica Plain address. They were met by a thirty year old woman who reported that her boyfriend, the defendant, had just assaulted her after a verbal argument. The woman claimed that the defendant grabbed her by the neck and hair and dragged her through his car ultimately throwing her into the street. Officers observed marks on the woman supporting her complaint. A clerk magistrate hearing scheduled with charges of domestic assault and battery in violation of G.L. c. 265 Section 13A and G.L. c. 265 Section 13M. The victim appeared. Nevertheless, our office was able to convince the clerk not to issue the criminal complaint.
