After a thorough investigation that included catching the alleged victim in numerous lies and showing that the alleged victim was doing drugs while pregnant, we were able to arrive at a plea deal that let the client avoid a felony conviction. Client entered a negotiated plea wherein Counts 2 and 4 were nolle prosequi and, in exchange for a “no contest” plea to a reduced charge of Felony Battery in Count 1, adjudication was withheld, and to a reduced charge in Count 4 of Criminal Mischief (Less than $1000.00), the Defendant was adjudicated guilty of misdemeanor criminal mischief.
