Pregnant Woman’s Charges Dismissed After Wrongful Arrest in Fulton County

Watson Law LLC Secures Case Dismissal After Client Is Attacked and Complies With Pretrial Program

Fulton County, GA – March 31, 2025 – A pregnant woman wrongly swept up in a group arrest has had her case officially dismissed, thanks to the work of Attorney Zakiya Watson-Caffe of Watson Law LLC. The client was charged with Battery and Criminal Trespass following a chaotic altercation where police could not identify a clear aggressor and arrested all parties involved.

In this release…

Case Background

The client, who was pregnant at the time of the incident, was attacked during a confrontation. Despite being the victim, law enforcement arrested everyone involved due to a lack of clarity about who initiated the violence. The client was charged with Battery and Criminal Trespass.

Defense Strategy and Outcome

Attorney Watson-Caffe worked quickly to provide context and push for a non-punitive resolution. The client agreed to participate in a pretrial intervention program, which included counseling or treatment as approved by the court. Upon completing all conditions, the prosecution filed a Nolle Prosequi, effectively dismissing the charges.

Court Order and Dismissal

On March 31, 2025, in the State Court of Fulton County, the Deputy Solicitor General formally entered a Nolle Prosequi on both charges. Judge Susan E. Edlein approved and ordered the dismissal. The record was ordered to be restricted, clearing the client’s name and removing the charges from public access.

Attorney Statement

“This case is a powerful reminder that not everyone charged with a crime is guilty. My client was the one who was attacked, and we made sure the court saw that. We’re proud to have protected her rights and cleared her name.”
– Zakiya Watson-Caffe, Esq., Managing Attorney, Watson Law LLC

Watson Law Secures Dismissal of Charges for Client in Clayton and Fulton County Cases

Atlanta, GA – March 6, 2025 – Watson Law is proud to announce a significant legal victory on behalf of our client, successfully securing the dismissal of criminal charges in both Clayton County and Fulton County courts. These outcomes, achieved through strategic negotiation and diligent legal counsel, highlight our firm’s commitment to justice and protecting our clients’ rights.

Strategic Advocacy Leads to Case Dismissals

In two separate cases, Watson Law successfully guided our client through the legal process, ultimately achieving a nolle prosequi (formal dismissal of charges) in both matters.

Clayton County Case

Our client was facing legal proceedings in the State Court of Clayton County. After careful legal assessment and negotiations, Watson Law effectively demonstrated that the interests of justice warranted a dismissal. The Solicitor General’s Office agreed, filing a motion to nolle prosequi the case, which was subsequently granted by the court.

Fulton County Case (Battery Charge)

In a separate matter in the State Court of Fulton County, Watson Law secured another nolle prosequi, ensuring that our client would not face further prosecution. This dismissal was granted after our client successfully completed the requirements of a pretrial intervention and counseling program—an outcome Watson Law worked diligently to facilitate.

How Watson Law Achieved These Results

Watson Law provided comprehensive legal counsel and strategic representation, ensuring that our client was positioned for the best possible resolution. Our legal team:

  • Engaged in rigorous negotiations with the prosecution, advocating for a dismissal based on the facts and circumstances of each case.
  • Advised and guided our client through pretrial intervention programs, ensuring compliance with all requirements to secure a favorable outcome.
  • Protected our client’s rights and future by working to have records restricted where applicable, minimizing the impact of these cases on their personal and professional life.
