Officers of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Police Department which were dispatched to the emergency department to remove the defendant who was verbally trespassed earlier in the night for verbally threatening staff because he believed his friend was not being treated quickly enough, was arrested. The defendant, a Marine who recently returned from a tour in Iraq, hired Attorney Topazio. Attorney met with the prosecuting attorney in an attempt to resolve his client’s case short of trial and to preserve his record. Following several court appearances, Attorney Topazio convinced the district Attorney to dismiss his client’s case provided his client voluntarily submit to psychotherapy treatment, and the court agreed.
