COMPLETE ACQUITTAL at BENCH TRIAL | ASSAULT – State v. Mr. V. (DMC No. 4741) (Mesa City Court 2004021500): Police received a 911 call from a male who asked for assistance because a female was “flipping out” in his house. The person then hung up the phone. Upon arrival, Mr. V. admitted he had called police because his fiancé was drunk and she had attempted to bite Mr. V. When he restrained her, the wine glass in her hand broke and she obtained some bruises. We were able to argue self-defense at trial, and the Judge acquitted Mr. V. of all charges.
