Freedom at Last: Client Cleared of Serious Charges
Imagine being accused of serious crimes, including carrying firearms without a license, and facing the years behind bars for bind-over offenses. That’s exactly what happened to our client until we stepped in and fought for their freedom.
In Massachusetts, the legal system can be complex, especially when it comes to bind over offenses. A “bind-over” refers to a case that’s transferred from District Court to Superior Court because of its seriousness. But did you know that not all cases make the cut? That’s where our expert lawyer, Adela Aprodu, steps in.
The System is Supposed to Work
In Massachusetts, lower courts (like District Courts) handle less serious crimes (misdemeanors and some felonies), while Superior Courts handle more severe felony cases. The bind-over process ensures that only cases with sufficient evidence proceed to the higher court.
Before a case gets bound over, a probable cause hearing is held to determine if there’s enough evidence to move the case to Superior Court. During this hearing:
The prosecution presents evidence, which may include police testimony, witness statements, or physical evidence.
The defense has an opportunity to cross-examiner witnesses and challenge the evidence presented.
But What If THE COMMONWEALTH FAILS?
In this case, our client was charged with both district court offenses and bind-over offenses. However, the Commonwealth failed to hold a Probable Cause Hearing not once, not twice, but Three Times! The purpose of the ProbableCause hearing is to ensure that the prosecution has enough evidence to warrant a trial in Superior Court.
That’s when we stepped in on behalf of our client. We filed a written motion to dismiss or alternatively, requesting release of the defendant with conditions of Release. And Guess What? On the Third Try, The Judge Looked At The History Of THE CASE, saw the other Two motions, and GRANTED OUR MOTION!
Why This MATTERS
This victory is not only about our client; it’s about your right to a fair trial. It means that if you or someone you knows is facing a bind-over hearing, you have an ally in Attorney Adela Aprodru. With her extensive knowledge of the legal system and her experience in navigating these complex cases, she knows exactly when to strike.
The Right Moment even for bind-over offenses
At first, The Judge Denied Our Motion. But we didn’T GIVE UP. We filed another motion, and then another. Finally, on the third try, THE JUDGE LOOKED AT THE HISTORY OF THE CASE, saw the other two motions, AND GRANTED OUR MOTION!
This victory shows that even when the system fails you, a determined lawyer like Adela Aprodu will fight for your freedom.
