Result: Felony Assault by Choking Case “No-Billed” by the Grand Jury and charge dropped. Charge: Assault – Family Violence Choking/Impeding Breath. Our client was arrested for a 3rd Degree Felony of choking his wife and was facing 10 years in prison. K.H. hired us within a week of his arrest, where police arrived at the scene after neighbors called and his wife told them that he had put his hands around her neck during their altercation. Our team prepared a “packet” to submit to the Grand Jury. State of Texas vs. K.H.
A citizen accused has a number of defenses available to them:
- Self-Defense: The most fundamental of all defenses is the right to defend your self against the attack of another. You are authorized under the Texas Penal Code to use reasonable force to defend yourself.
- Defense of Third-Persons: You also have the right to defend a third person with reasonable force.
- Mutual Combat: When both parties consent to a fight, we raise this defense.
Result: July returned a “Not Guilty” verdict after we asserted the “Mutual Combat” Defense. Our client was arrested for severely beating the State’s victim. That bloody victim left the scene of the fight belted to on a stretcher with IVs. Our client admitted to the police that he gave the victim a thorough beating and naturally he was arrested for assault. Thankfully, he hired us immediately after posting bond. State of Texas vs. B.H.
