Assault Case Results in Houston, TX

Charge

Assault - Family Violence by Strangulation

Location

Harris County, 185th DC

Allegations

Police arrested the client after a domestic incident at a hotel when a third party called 911. Officers documented redness and booked the case as felony strangulation. In the weeks that followed, the complainant told the state she did not recall being strangled, described the contact as consensual before an argument, and then became unavailable. We gathered the 911 records and reports, highlighted the absence of medical proof of impeded breathing, and compiled inconsistencies in her accounts. We set the case for trial and kept pressure on the prosecution. The state dismissed the case.
