Aggravated Battery with Great Bodily Harm – EXPUNGEABLE PROBATION

My client was charged with aggravated battery by stabbing someone and puncturing his liver. My client went to a park to watch a fight between 2 people. There was a whole group of kids who came to watch. While my client was watching the fight, he pulled out a knife and stabbed another observer of the fight. The victim went to the hospital where he had a punctured liver from the knife blade. My client was arrested and made a full statement of how he stabbed the other kid. There was way too much evidence against my client for trial because if I lost, he would have went to prison for a long time. the problem is that my client was young and I did not want this mistake to go on his record for the rest of his life. Therefore, I had a conference with the judge and the prosecutor. I convinced the prosecutor and the judge to allow my client to receive TASC probation. This special probation would allow me to COMPLETELY EXPUNGE the conviction from his record after he completes the probation. He would have absolutely no record of these charges on his record after the term of probation. Needless to say, he was extremely happy with the outcome!
