Our client was accused of punching the complainant when the complainant refused to leave an establishment after being told by our client and other staff. The case was originally referred to PTD, but our client was rejected from the program, facing up to one year in jail and a criminal conviction. After investigating the case and interviewing witnesses, the defense filed a motion to dismiss under the “Stand Your Ground Law” and requested a hearing. After hearing testimonies and arguments, the court granted a motion forcing the state to dismiss charges.
