Our client was attending a birthday party when she was threatened with violence and chased out of the party by a knife wielding assailant. As she was attempting to escape, the assailant blocked her vehicle and threatened to kill her if she did not stop. She tried to drive around him, but was unable to avoid contact with the assailant and several vehicles in the parking lot. The State of Florida charged her with Leaving the Scene of an Accident, a second degree misdemeanor punishable by up to 60 days in jail. The Ticket Clinic Attorney set the case for trial, planning to assert a necessity defense. However, by objecting to the admission of certain testimony and video evidence, our attorney was able to prevent the State from proving that our client was the driver of the vehicle. As a result, our attorney was able to move for a Judgement of Acquittal, resulting in the dismissal of all charges against our client.
