State v. GA – Theft by Check – DISMISSED – The client accidentally wrote a check and had insufficient funds in the checking account. Here the state would have to prove that the client knew the check was bad and intended to pass the check to obtain merchandise with no intention of paying for it. The state was unable to prove the material elements of the offense and in return, dismissed the case.
State v. MG – Assault on a Family Member – Protective Order Amended – The client was charged with assault and the state requested a protective order be issued that would keep the client out of the residence. We were able to request a hearing and as a result were able to remove the language in the protective order that prevented the client from going within 200 feet of their own residence.
State v. PW – Possession of a Controlled Substance – CHARGES REDUCED – Client was charged with possession of methamphetamine and had a prior criminal history that would have caused him to serve 2 – 20 years in prison if convicted. We were able to work out a deal that would allow him to plea to a reduced charge and receive a sentence of six months with credit for the time that he has already served.
