The witnesses for the prosecution were uncooperative and were able to convince the prosecutors to drop the case.
Andrew was an emotional mess. Burglary with battery carries a sentence of up to life in prison, which terrified him. He was also worried about his career, and ruining his life over a relationship that wasn’t even real.
Andrew M. was an intelligent and socially awkward tech professional who fell in love with a prostitute. They met on Backpage, and their relationship developed from there. For him it became love, and he thought they were in it together, but he soon discovered that for her it was just a transaction. He also found out that she was living with her real boyfriend. As things went south, he drove north from Plantation to Boynton Beach to bang on her door and make her see that they were meant to be together. When he broke down the door to her apartment he saw that the boyfriend was there. Andrew became enraged and attacked them both, beating them up pretty badly. After he left they called the police who started an investigation. Andrew called us immediately and we were able to prevent the police from questioning him. By acting as Andrew’s shield, the police couldn’t trick Andrew into making any admissions that would hurt him.
We interviewed the victims, who seemed like they were on drugs. They already weren’t cooperating with the prosecutors, making them unreliable witnesses. We wanted to put pressure on the prosecutors from day one to drop the case.
