The defendant, Roberto Suarez Flores, was charged with four counts of assault involving his estranged wife and their two sons.
The court assessed the credibility of all witnesses, noting the particular considerations for young witnesses.
While the court found reasonable doubt regarding the assault charge involving the wife due to conflicting accounts and a potentially coercive message from the wife's nephew, it found the defendant guilty of the three assault charges involving his sons.
These included assaults with a snow brush, a speaker wire, and a haircut tool, with the court accepting the sons' consistent and credible testimony despite minor inconsistencies.
