Our client was charged with third-degree assault in a domestic violence context after an argument with his girlfriend. He threw a vape pen that struck her above the eye, causing a minor cut. He took responsibility and expressed deep remorse. His girlfriend told prosecutors that she did not want him punished and that both had acted poorly that night.
The prosecution insisted on pursuing jail time, ignoring the fact that our client was the family’s sole provider, and that by the time of the case, the couple was expecting a child. The alleged victim, pregnant and unwilling to testify, chose not to appear for trial. The prosecution moved to reschedule the trial.
Krizman Law objected to the continuance and was prepared to proceed. On the eve of trial, the Denver District Attorney’s Office finally recognized the futility of its case and dismissed all charges.
Krizman Law’s expertise in domestic violence matters ensures that our clients, whether the accused or the alleged victim, achieve a fair result from a system that tends to think that one size fits all.
