The client, a 28 year old college graduate and account executive, was arrested after being captured on Market Basket store video surveillance placing several meat products in his pockets. Upon leaving the store, the client ran and was tackled by store security, hired Attorney Topazio. Attorney Topazio learned that his client stole the meat for a college football party he was to have with his employer and when he learned he didn’t have any money to pay for the meat, stole it. Attorney Topazio met with the prosecutor and corroborated his client’s story by providing the prosecutor with the football schedule and argued that a conviction would cause his client to be discharged from his employment. Today, Attorney Topazio convinced the prosecutor to dismiss both charges against his client on twenty-five hours of community service, and the court agreed.
