Although the words "assault and battery" are most often used together, in Massachusetts, you can be charged with Assault if you put a person in fear of an unwanted touching. An Assault and Battery charge is an allegation of not only putting a person in fear of the unwanted touching, but also includes the allegation of an actual unwanted touching. The “touching” can be something as simple as a poke, and does not require injury as a result of the unwanted touching.

Assault or Assault and Battery charges may carry enhanced penalties depending on:

RECEIVE THE HELP YOU NEED.
ATTORNEY SUSAN RAYBURN UNDERSTANDS THE LAW.

Homicide charges can be some of the most difficult to defend. Often times there will be complicated forensic evidence, numerous witnesses to the homicide itself or to other related pieces of the investigation. There can be witness intimidation by law enforcement or others, identification, evidence and statement suppression issues. There are most often crime scene investigation reports, search warrant documents, searches and seizures, forensic data and recorded interviews. There can be cooperating co-defendants or jail house informants. There are various levels of police investigation, including sometimes failures to investigate effectively or ethically, which can lead to false allegations.

If you or someone you love has been charged with murder or any type of homicide charge, including accessory after or before the fact, or if you have been called to testify before the Grand Jury as a witness, call Attorney Susan Rayburn immediately because it is imperative that you are represented by dedicated, competent and experienced legal counsel.

Will My Case Go to Trial? How Is This Determined?

It’s important to be aware that not every criminal case will go to trial. Each case can have several possible outcomes. The key is to have an honest conversation with your criminal defense attorney about whether or not they believe the case will go to trial. As an experienced lawyer in
criminal defense cases, Susan Rayburn looks at the facts of the case, assesses the evidence, and offers insight into possible options for moving forward. A variety of factors will play into the
decision you make as to whether to take your case to trial, being educated about what the evidence against you means and how it will or will not be applied is of utmost importance. The
ability to pay your legal fees should never play a part in your decision of whether or not to exercise your constitutional right to a trial by jury or a bench trial, that is one important reason why Attorney Rayburn keeps her fees at fair flat rates.

Whether or not your case will go to trial depends on various factors, including the specifics of your case, the strength of the evidence, whether that evidence can be effectively challenged through review of records and proper investigation, the rules of evidence, and the strategies of
both the defense and prosecution. It’s important to know that just because you are accused of a crime does not mean that the testimonial and physical evidence the prosecution cannot be
challenged.

There are many ways to challenge their evidence, it takes work by your attorney to comb through evidence, watch every video, listen to every recorded interview, seek evidence the prosecution might not want to produce through thoughtful, careful and creative motions filed on
your behalf.

It is unacceptable to simply accept a police report or grand jury testimony and assume there is no other evidence, including evidence that may call into question the credibility of police or other witnesses. Attorney Susan Rayburn is skilled and committed to effective motions practice and proper investigation.
