A client charged with obstructing and assaulting a police officer receives an absolute discharge

A client of criminal lawyer Xavier Cormier was charged with assaulting a police officer (Section 270 (1) a) (2) b) Criminal Code of Canada) and obstructing a police officer (Section 129 a) e) Criminal Code). This client might have to travel to the United States for personal and occupational reasons. Mr. Cormier gathered several documents that proved that the client had a real interest in benefiting from a discharge, then discussed her case with the Prosecutor. The client made a donation to a charity organization and then pleaded guilty. The lawyers suggested the Judge grant an absolute discharge to Mr. Cormier’s client, which the Judge followed.
