A client of criminal lawyer Veronica Vallelonga was charged with harassment (Section 264 (3)a) Criminal Code). The plaintiff accused him of phoning him often and making threats against him. Both parties had a conflict over carrying out a contract. The defendant did not agree with the version of the plaintiff, denied harassing him and claimed he simply tried to collect his money.
Mrs. Vallelonga first asked that there be a preliminary hearing to assess the credibility of the plaintiff. Afterwards, a date was set for the trial.
During the trial, Mrs. Vallelonga cross-examined the plaintiff as well as two police officers who were testifying for the prosecution. The client was the last to testify. After the pleas of the lawyers, the Judge decided to acquit Mrs. Vallelonga’s client.
Not all clients of lawyer Veronica Vallelonga are acquitted. See notice.
