Stay of Adjudication Pursuant to Veterans Restorative Justice Act
FB, a veteran of the United States Marine Corp, was charged with second degree assault with a dangerous weapon, a felony that carries a three-year mandatory minimum sentence. FB wielded a knife during a fight with multiple men outside a bar. Upon review of the video evidence of the incident, the Firm asserted Rule 9 affirmative defenses of self-defense and defense of others on behalf of FB.
Though FB had a valid self-defense claim, he did not want to subject himself or his family to the unnecessary risk of trial. The Firm helped FB gather his military service records and brought a motion for a stay of adjudication pursuant to the Veterans Restorative Justice Act. Despite the prosecution's objection, the motion prevailed, and FB received a stay of adjudication. This allowed him to avoid the mandatory prison time and any record of conviction.In June and July 2022 we won two back-to-back high profile jury trials, involving the same client, Mustafa Shabazz, a kids wrestling coach, who was falsely accused of sexually touching two of his wrestlers and prosecuted in two separate counties.
