After a car accident for which he could not manage to find assistance from the police, an individual phoned 911 and threatened to kill someone. The police rushed to the location in order to arrest him. He was charged with making death threats (Section 264.1 (1) a) (2) b) of the Criminal Code) and mischief (Section 430(1) d) (4) b) of the Criminal Code). He hired criminal lawyer Veronica Vallelonga who works in our law firm to defend him.
The defendant wished to avoid having a criminal record because he was a student and more generally, so it would not interfere with his job hunting. Mrs Vallelonga therefore negotiated seriously with the Prosecutor in order to reach a discharge. After thinking about it, the Judge decided to agree with the lawyers’ suggestion and granted a discharge subject to the student doing community work.
Not all clients of Mrs Vallelonga receive a discharge. See notice.
