Getting the best possible results in the criminal justice system requires preparation and dedication to serving people relentlessly.
The defense process begins with a consultation to find out from the client the details of the investigation and arrest. This information starts the process of building the defense strategy.
The next step is to take the time to know the client’s status in the community, personal information, and background. This information may contribute to getting the optimal result in the case.
Finally it is vital to examine the arrest reports, evidence that comes in a wide variety of forms, statements by the alleged victim, and witness declarations. This information helps determine the strengths of the defense and weaknesses of the prosecution.
Defenses that may apply to a charge of robbery are as follows.
- The victim is not believable
- No specific criminal intent
- No use of force or threats during the theft
- Insufficient evidence to prove the crime
- Improper identification of the client
- Witness bias not to tell the truth
- Violation of the right to remain silent
With this preparation in hand, the defense team is fully ready to proceed.
