Nancy aggravated assault felony was dismissed this week. Nancy’s roommate called the police claiming Nancy pulled a gun on her/pistol-whipped her. Even though there were no injuries, the police arrested Nancy and when she bonded out the roommate had stolen her jewelry and broken into her safe with a crowbar, and pawned a bunch of her stuff. We presented our grand jury packet on Wednesday and the DA rejected the case the next day. – DISMISSED
Pedro’s DWI was reduced to Obstruction of a Highway. Pedro is an employee with a CDL so a DWI conviction would have been bad news. – REDUCED
Caleb was charged with a racing case (a misdemeanor). We turned several offers down and set it for trial. Three days before the trial, we agreed to do a short-term pre-trial diversion program. Caleb accepted. In 6 months, the case will be dismissed. Caleb will not have to report or do probation and stay out of trouble for six months. Caleb is very happy. DISMISSED
Eulogio had a DWI 1st over a .15-BAC .172. We were able to get the charge changed to an obstruction of a roadway, 8M deferred adjudication. REDUCED
Tyler BAC .28, DWI 1st w/open container. We had the blood analyzed which showed the blood should not be considered. We were able to get Tyler a deferred adjudication for 8 months and a $200 fine. With Tylers BAC being that high, it could have been a class A with no ability to get a deferred adjudication. REDUCED
