Lisle Domestic Violence Lawyers

Our client said he went into their bedroom and observed the accuser on the telephone and knew she was talking to her new boyfriend. Our client said that the accuser hid the phone underneath her pillow and he confronted her about her actions. Our client said that the accuser began to throw items in the room. Our client stated at no time were any items thrown towards him and he did not feel that the accuser was trying to harm him. Our client then changed his story to the accuser got up and threw a cup of juice on him while he was standing near the doorway. The police officer observed red juice on our client and red juice on the side of the bed that our client had stated was the accuser’s.

Our client then stated the accuser began to throw items in the kitchen area, but no contact was made. He said that he grabbed the accuser to prevent her from breaking any more property. He described how he grabbed her from behind in a bear hug; grabbing her arms near the bicep area. He then stated that the accuser had thrown a lamp across the bed at him and it had grazed his left side. He stated he was not injured and did not have any signs of injuries. 

The police officer then spoke with the accuser, who at first was deceitful on the events that occurred. The accuser stated after several minutes that our client had hurt her. She showed her left bicep area, which had bruising on the inside of her bicep and an abrasion on the outside of her forearm. There were also several small bruise dots on the bottom of her arm. The accuser stated that our client had wrapped a wire around her arm during their argument. The accuser began to cry and stated that our client has hit her before and she did not contact the police to report it.

The police officer then spoke to our client again. He said that the accuser had slapped him in the face after he entered the room. The officer did not see any consistent injuries on our client’s face.

The police officer then spoke to the accuser again. She denied striking our client.

The police believed the accuser and not our client.

The police arrested our client for Domestic Battery.

After carefully reviewing the police reports and information in the state’s discovery production, we took an aggressive position and advised our client to set this matter for trial.

Our trial attorneys prepared for trial. We diligently reviewed all of the evidence and prepared to aggressively cross examine any witnesses the state would call against our client.

On the day of trial, our team was prepared and ready to try the case. The prosecutors did not have sufficient evidence or the cooperation of necessary witnesses to proceed. Had the prosecutors attempted to bring in evidence via hearsay or other means, our experience trial attorney was prepared and would have blocked such a move.

The prosecutors motioned the judge for a continuance. Our team’s trial attorney successfully objected to the granting of any continuance.

The prosecutors then had no choice but the dismiss the case against our client. dbv46
