August 19, 2013.  Case — with officer’s recommended filing of felony assault on an officer — settled for an infraction day 2 of trial.  

Client was originally charged with one felony count of assault on an officer. Following the preliminary hearing, the Court granted F&W’s motion to reduce the matter to a misdemeanor. A suppression motion by F&W was subsequently granted, removing most of the evidence against F&W’s client. On the day the jury was to be sworn, the District Attorney’s office agreed to settle for an infraction, leaving the client without a criminal conviction on his record.
