What is alleged to have occured?
This is a case study on withdrawing an assault charge (family violence) with a successful outcome. The case was heard at the Magistrates’ Court and we provided criminal defence for the accused.
What happened at court?
We represented the client at the Broadmeadows Magistrates’ Court.
What was the result?
Following discussions with the prosecution at the first court date where issues with the credibility and reliability of the complainant were raised, the matter was withdrawn without a further appearance. This was a successful outcome as withdrawing an assault charge with family violence as an issue will mean that our client would be able to successfully maintain his clean criminal record.
