Criminal Defense Lawyer John MacDonald has Massachusetts Assault Charge Dismissed 15 Years Later

More Criminal Defense Results from Attorney John MacDonald

A 15 year-old Massachusetts charge of assault by means of a dangerous weapon case dismissed yesterday in Taunton District Court.

Client never realized that he had been charged after a fight until a traffic stop 15 years later.

I moved to dismiss for lack of prosecution but was denied.

I then passed the matter to a jury trial and forced the prosecution to locate its witnesses.

At trial, the Commonwealth was unable to proceed and the matter was dismissed.
