Allegations

An argument between partners escalated during what began as play fighting, and the complainant later claimed a push caused an injury. Days afterward, the complainant came to the client's home with friends, demanded the client's phone, and blocked the client's car, then made a report to police. The case rested mostly on that account. We gathered text messages documenting shifting plans, breakup talk, repeated demands for the phone, and the delayed report. Highlighting credibility problems and sparse corroboration, we pushed the state to reduce the charge.
