Bail has been set for a man facing domestic assault charges in Framingham, months after prosecutors claimed he was too dangerous to be released but then failed to charge him, the MetroWest Daily News reported.
This case illustrates the importance of hiring a qualified Framingham criminal defense lawyer. Despite being jailed without bail in July, and being ruled too dangerous for release in August, Robert Frank Vorce had bail set at $2,000 in Framingham District Court this week after his attorney argued he should be released because months have passed without an indictment.
Vorce was arrested after staff at MetroWest Medical Center's Framingham Union campus reported an assault. Doctors were performing tests on his girlfriend to determine if her face had suffered structural damage. She said she had been drinking with Vorce and woke up to him punching her in the face.
The victim reported fleeing from the house and sleeping on a porch, before going to a friend's and being taken to the hospital the next day. Police charged him with assault and battery and intimidation of a witness.
In ordering his release, the judge said he must report to probation twice a week and undergo random drug and alcohol testing. However, he rejected a request by the state that Vorce be outfitted with a GPS monitor.
