Assault - Family Violence by Strangulation

Location

Allegations

After a domestic dispute, police alleged strangulation, photographed neck bruising, and captured a 911 call that ended abruptly. We engaged pre-indictment, obtained the body cam and 911 audio, and measured the proof against the elements of felony strangulation. The complaining witness executed an affidavit of non-prosecution, which we delivered to the State. With the witness residing out of state and the evidence insufficient to meet the felony standard, we pressed the prosecutor. The State dismissed the case pre-indictment.

There were no injuries reported and no allegation of choking. We moved quickly to secure the 911 audio, bodycam footage, and reports, and we obtained a modification of the protective order to allow limited contact. The complaining witness later signed an affidavit of non-prosecution. We presented that, along with the absence of bodily injury and thin evidence of offensive contact, to the prosecutor.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

We presented the credibility issues and pressed the prosecutor. The case was dismissed.

We also worked to clarify the complaining witness’s wishes. When she declined to participate and was unavailable to testify, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CC13

He was cooperative with responding officers, and no injuries were documented. We got involved early, the family members signed affidavits of non-prosecution, and we obtained the 911 audio, body cam, and reports. Our review showed the contact was accidental and inconsistent with an intentional assault. We presented those issues to the prosecutor, who dismissed the case.

Charge

Injury to a Child (Felony)

Location

Bexar County, 437th District Court

Allegations

After a school pickup, the client was accused of felony injury to a child when two youths exited her vehicle and fought with others nearby. She remained in the car with younger children, and CPS investigated and closed the case without action. We dug into the police reports and discovery, highlighting the spontaneous nature of the altercation and the lack of any act by our client that encouraged or facilitated it. We emphasized the CPS findings and the context of the incident to the prosecution and prepared for trial. Facing weak proof on essential elements, the state dismissed the case.

We presented these weaknesses to the prosecution and stood ready for trial. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Emphasizing the officers' on scene decision not to charge and the inconsistencies in the later complaint, we pressed for dismissal. The state ultimately dismissed the case.

Assault on a Pregnant Person

Location

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute and arrested our client after the complainant alleged she was pregnant and claimed he assaulted her.
