Client hired us on an Aggravated Battery with Deadly Weapon after she allegedly used scissors to cut her boyfriend. She then violated her pretrial release conditions by returning to the residence without an officer because she was confused about the rules from the court. The State agreed this was a self-defense situation and filed a dismissal of the charges which also led to us being able to file a motion for client’s release from custody. This charge is punishable by up to 15 years in prison and client walked away free of any charges.
