She was the mother of a client accused of burglary of his girlfriend’s apartment. His mother constantly told me, “The young lady wants to drop the charges”. I kept telling Dawn that if that was in fact the case, then the girl needed to contact the State Attorney’s Office. Well, the girl never did contact them.
