Following a parking dispute, an individual was charged with ramming another vehicle and then shoving the other driver during the argument that followed (assault, according to Section 266 b) of the Criminal Code). He was also charged with hit and run for leaving the premises (Section 320.16 of the Criminal Code – formerly section 252(1.1) of the Criminal Code).
Criminal lawyer Veronica Vallelonga had the mandate of defending this client. She negotiated with the Prosecutor, and the lawyers agreed to let the client sign a peace bond (Section 810) because of which the charges were dropped. Therefore the client was acquitted.
Not all Mrs. Vallelonga’s clients are acquitted. See notice.
