Our firm's client was charged with assault and other related misdemeanors. From investigating the case, and speaking with my client, the allegations appeared to be less than true, and we immediately demanded a trial. My client elected to set the matter for a bench trial rather than a jury trial, because the case was based solely on one witness' testimony, and we viewed the case as pretty cut and dry, which a judge would be able to see our defense.
We were also confident that if the lone witness failed to appear in court, the Judge would have no choice, but to dismiss the case and free our client of these false allegations.
Today this result happened for our client, and all charges have been dismissed.
