Veteran’s Court Diversion for Man Charged With Domestic Assault and Battery
Our client is a veteran of the United States Army. He was recently charged with assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon in violation of G.L. c. 265 section 15A, a felony in Massachusetts. It was alleged that on October 17, 2020, during a fight with his wife our client threw a cell phone at his wife, hitting her in the face and requiring a hospital visit and stitched. Our client’s military service made him eligible for pre-arraignment diversion under G.L. c. 276A section 10. The probation interview deemed our client a good candidate for the program. He will not be arraigned on the case. The felony charges were dropped to misdemeanor assault and battery under G.L. c. 265 section 13A for which our client will not have a criminal record.
