Unjust conviction overturned; case dismissed

May 2019

May 7, 2019, Malden District Court case no. 0850CR000637, charging 3 counts assault dangerous weapon, failure to stop for police, driving to endanger. Government alleges that when officers attempted to stop client in connection with a suspected drug transaction, client attempts to run down the officers with his car. On advice of predecessor counsel, client admits to sufficient facts and is placed on probation on 12/18/08. Client retains our firm after learning his convictions trigger deportation consequences. Following adversarial hearing, the Court enters an order dated 6/5/18 allowing our motion for new trial based on ineffective assistance of plea counsel. On May 7, 2019, we appear for trial. The case is ordered dismissed pursuant to G.L. c. 276, §87.
