Redondo Beach Battery “No File” Attorney Success # 7
Our client was charged with one count of Penal Code Section 242, battery, a misdemeanor, after punching out his ex-wife’s girlfriend. Our client, age 48 and with no prior record, was dumbfounded by the charges, as he was clearly hit first. Therefore, he felt the District Attorney “got it backwards” in charging the wrong person, or at least that he was innocent due to self-defense, or at the very least, it was a case of mutual combat.
The incident leading to the arrest and charges was one where our client’s ex-wife asked our client to stop by her residence to pick up some of his personal items. Our client arrived with a U-Haul truck on time, only to find that his ex-wife had not set aside the items for pick up and was talking with her new boyfriend.
Our client asked his former wife what items she needed him to pick up and she said “nothing.” Having driven approximately 40 miles in a large U-Haul truck, knowing that his ex-wife had a truck load of his possessions, he responded, “This is BS.”
From out of no-where, the boyfriend hit our client across the jaw, causing our client to bleed. Our client looked over at the boyfriend, who was apparently standing in an aggressive posture as if to continue fighting. Our client then decked the boyfriend in one punch, knocking him to the ground, where he remained until paramedics arrived.
Police arrested our client and charged him with battery.
Our client then hired Greg Hill & Associates. Greg Hill bombarded the City Attorney with the transcript from the hearing on the TRO sought by the boyfriend, which the judge denied, and letters of admiration for our client as a peaceful person.
Two days before the arraignment, the City Attorney announced that she would not file charges. Our client was extremely relieved, as he had a profession with a license that might have been subject to discipline had he been convicted.
