John Ingrassia was recently able to persuade prosecutors in the Hudson Valley to dismiss DWI charges pending against his client and allow her to plead guilty to an underlying non-alcohol related traffic infraction.
Mr. Ingrassia’s client had been a victim of domestic violence and had left her abusers residence to meet another friend at a bar. There, after having consumed alcoholic beverages, she elected to follow her friend home when she was stopped by police and after an investigation was arrested and charged with two counts of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.
Mr. Ingrassia was able to show photographic evidence of injuries that she had suffered in the past at the hands of her abuser and made persuasive arguments that the interests of justice were best served by allowing her to plead guilty to a non-alcohol related traffic infraction.
This case serves as an example to explore details of a client’s life to see if there are any type of underlying mitigating facts which, when presented to prosecutors, can cause them to reevaluate their position.
