State of Texas v. BP – Aggravated Assault of a Family Member with a Deadly Weapon (25 to Life Habitual Offender) – 9 years TDC with 1 year credit – Client was accused of getting into a fight with his girlfriend. She claimed that the client beat her until there was a hole in her cheek, causing facial fractures and knocking teeth out. The complainant then alleged the client took a gun and pistol whipped her, loaded a round in the chamber, stuck the gun in her mouth, and then threatened to “blow her head off”. The first offer from the State was 35 years. We were able to work out a deal on the eve of trial for 9 years with credit for all the time the client had to serve. Had we lost at trial, the minimum sentence would have been 25 years and the maximum would have been life.
