Case STUDY

People v. S. Marchand

[1] People v. S. Marchand, OCSC Case Number 17HF1070: Tracy represented Laura’s House in this matter under the California Victim’s Bill of Rights Act of 2008 and California Constitution Article I, Section 28(e). Said matter involved a firearm threat against Laura’s House and its employee(s). The victims threatened by Mr. Marchand were heard via over 200+ pages of victim impact statements filed with the Court by Domestic Violence Legal Center® (including electronic data of Mr. Marchand’s criminal conduct). The Orange County District Attorney’s Office also filed impact statements, and the victims testified at sentencing. The Court disallowed Mr. Marchand’s request for a global misdemeanor case disposition and instead, after considering the written and oral victim impact statements, Mr. Marchand pled to a “strike” offense. A Protective Order was issued against Mr. Marchand to make no contact with Laura’s House and he was admonished by the Court that any violation of said order would cause Mr. Marchand to be sent to State Prison.
