Case Results

Client was with Aggravated Battery Pregnant Female and DV Battery by Strangulation after his wife reported the matter to police over 3 months after the alleged incident. To further complicate matters, Client was in the United States as a student on an F-1 visa and any conviction for a crime of domestic violence would have made him deportable. After hiring Hubbs Law, E.J. Hubbs reviewed all of the discovery and began preparing Client’s defense which was a self-defense claim. In support of Client’s self-defense claim, E.J. attacked the victim’s credibility by showing she waited 3 months to call the police and was potentially biased since Client had previously told her that he wanted a divorce. There were also allegations from the victim that Client was having an affair which strengthened his claim that the victim was motivated by revenge. The case went to trial and the jury found the Client not guilty of both charges.
