The client, a 33 year old professional and father of two, was arrested for illegally possessing a firearm, hired Boston Weapons Attorney Steven J. Topazio to defend him. The client was released on conditions of bail which included GPS monitoring and a stay away order. Immediately after Attorney Topazio was retained, the client received a probation warrant for a strap tamper to his GPS monitoring device and the prosecutor on the case filed a motion to revoke the client’s bail. Attorney Topazio filed a motion to remove the GPS monitoring device and stay away order due to changed circumstances and contested the bail revocation. Today, although Attorney Topazio acknowledged that there was a violation of a condition of his client’s release, he objected to any argument that his new client should be subject to a revocation of release and an order of detention. Despite the prosecutor’s argument that no condition or combination of conditions will assure that the client will not pose a danger to the safety of any other person or the community, Attorney Topazio persuaded the court to deny the prosecutor’s motion to revoke his client’s bail and to release his client on bail.
