Indictments against the defendants arose from accusations that they had attacked Cynthia Hunter, the victim, several hours after a fight between Hunter and the defendant Nadia Tennison at a local bar. A Superior Court jury convicted Tennison of assault and battery, and the defendant David Young of unlawful possession of both ammunition and a firearm with a barrel of sixteen inches or less. The jury acquitted the two defendants of other charges.
