RECENT SUCCESSES OF CHARLES A. RAMSAY • RAMSAY CONVINCES JUDGE TO DISMISS CHARGES On November 27, 2006 Ramsay convinced a judge in Dakota County to stay adjudication in a criminal case. Ramsay's client was charged with abusing his 16-year-old stepson. The boy was disobedient and became violent, attacking his father. A third party was injured during the altercation. The prosecutor did not charge Ramsay's client with domestic assault, knowing that that a jury would likely find him not guilty on grounds of self defense. However, the prosecutor pushed disorderly conduct charges for what allegedly occurred prior to the physical altercation. Ramsay's client had consumed alcohol and had a prior incident. Ramsay convinced the prosecutor and the judge to agree to a stay of adjudication. The resolution saves Ramsay's client money and the time and torment of trial.

• RAMSAY OBTAINS DISMISSAL IN DOMESTIC ASSAULT CASE
In early October, Charles Ramsay obtained an acquittal in a domestic assault case in Anoka County. The case arises out of a March, 2006 incident between a man and his wife in Coon Rapids. Ramsay contended since he was retained by his client that the police had violated his client’s constitutional rights on a number of grounds. Some of the constitutional violations included entering the home without permission and without probable cause in violation of the fourth amendment, and failing to follow the U.S. Supreme Court’s mandate under Miranda, in violation of the Fifth and Sixth Amendments.
The case was originally set for trial in March. Because of some evidentiary issues, the trial was continued until October. At Mr. Ramsay’s urging, the prosecutor dismissed the matter completely.
