Types of larceny in Massachusetts are:

CHARGE: Assault with a Dangerous Weapon (firearm). Our client was indicted on two charges: Assault with a Dangerous Weapon (firearm), and Illegal Possession of a Loaded Firearm. Our client was arrested for allegedly being the driver for a shooting that took place in Dorchester in June 2019, and he was later indicted in December of that year. The allegations are that our client drove to an area in Dorchester, took place in a shooting, and then led police on a high- speed chase throughout the city before being apprehended. A gun shot residue (GSR) test indicated that our client had recently fired a weapon. After our firm fully reviewed all of the evidence, we believed that there was insufficient evidence to indict our client on the Assault with a Dangerous Weapon charge. We filed a motion to dismiss that charge.

RESULT: In June 2020, our motion to dismiss that charge was ALLOWED by the court. This case is now down to just one charge, and we look forward to a jury trial.

CHARGE: Rape. Our client was arrested and charged with rape, on the allegation that he had sexual intercourse with a woman who was too intoxicated to consent. Our client, who had no prior record whatsoever, vehemently denied this accusation.

RESULT: After we were able to have the arraignment date extended, a further investigation revealed that this charge never should have been brought. We were very pleased that this very serious charge was dismissed prior to our client ever being arraigned in court; there is no record of this case in the system.
