Husband Found Not Guilty of assaulting wife

Criminal defense lawyer David Wooten convinced a Montgomery County judge to acquit his client of allegations of domestic violence and assault charges. During her direct examination, the defendant’s estranged wife appeared to be an innocent victim seeking justice. She described a brutal attack, involving multiple punches to the face, choking, biting, and kicking. Her father also testified that he saw blood pouring from his daughter’s face shortly after the fight. However, Mr. Wooten’s thorough cross examination exposed the truth of the wife’s vindictive, false allegations. She even admitted that she filed criminal charges 41 days after the incident because someone told her that it would help get her husband deported. The not guilty verdict not only helped Wooten’s client avoid deportation, it also saved the client from the stigma of a criminal record, allowing him to continue his career in nursing.
