Full recantation leads to dismissal of robbery and battery charges
Our client was facing thirty years in prison with a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years as a habitual violent offender. We knew that the charges were false, so we took the complaining witness’s statement. When they completely recanted their initial report to the police under oath, the government had no choice but to dismiss the case.
Charges: Strong Arm robbery, Battery with a prior conviction
Time Faced: 30 years in prison with a 10-year minimum mandatory sentence
Result: All charges dismissed
