Thomas P. O'Connell, P.A. “Defending the Rights of the Accused”

The Defendant was accused of committing Aggravated Battery on a Pregnant Female wherein his girlfriend was not pregnant. Indeed, the Defendant’s girlfriend and her relatives tried to revoke the Defendant’s probation pending the disposition of his case. Tom O’Connell was able to convince the court to not revoke his Client’s Pre-Trial Release because he was able to call various civilian witness, including a witness who received various threatening cell phone call messages from the alleged victim indicating she wanted Mr. O’Connell’s client to go to jail. The State agreed to announced a Nolle Prosequi on May 10, 2010 after realizing the alleged victim had a prior adjudication for trafficking in cocaine, had lied about her age, lied about her date of birth, and lied about her real legal name. Tom O’Connell’s client was obviously happy with the case disposition.
