Re: about criminal and domestic violence of a high and agrivated nature

I cannot tell you whether or not the case will be dropped since there I know nothing about the charges, evidence, etc., other than the fact a person was arrested. As far as the brain injury, its possible that could lead to a defense or a mitigating factor. However, I still do not have enough information to advise. Good luck.
