Normally, we only post results once a case is completed. However, we had some results in cases this week that we feel compelled to share. While some of the cases are not concluded, we will make sure to let you know how they turn out.
Thursday- Client is charged in a multi count complaint alleging three (3) counts of sexual assault. After receiving the reports in the case, Corey Chirafisi believed there was a motion to get the privileged psychological records of the complaining witness. The motion can be difficult to win, however, it can also provide very useful information if granted. The records are initially reviewed by the judge.
We filed the motion seeking five (5) different records from counselors regarding the past psychological counseling of the witness. Prior to the hearing, the prosecutor called and informed us that he was not going to object to the records being reviewed by the judge. The judge granted the motion in its entirety.
