Charges: Misdemeanor assault and disorderly conduct
Resolution:
Continuance for dismissal on one count, full dismissal of another (worse!) count, minimal fine. This client was on a bit of a terrible roll, had a physical run-in with juveniles first, then a battle with his near neighbor, both cases far more complex than the usual misdemeanor asault and disorderly case. Mr. Adkins engaged a very thoughtful but generally conservative prosecutor, convinced said state agent that his client would confront his temper via a comprehensive anger management assessment, avoided treatment thereby, and obtained a life-affirming outcome.
