On September 29, 2022, client had spent the night with a friend and boyfriend was angry. Boyfriend took her phone and wouldn’t return it. Client eventually waived machete at him and State charged client with Aggravated Assault for this. However, boyfriend had previously choked client, threatened to kill her with machete, and actually attacked her and took machete from her. Attorney took boyfriend’s deposition, who was uncooperative with the state and supported the defense (though he didn’t realize it) and attorney then filed stand-your-ground motion and set for hearing. State dismissed all charges the day before the stand-your-ground hearing.
