Defenses to Battery

 STRATEGY SERVICE FOR DEFENSES TO BATTERY

The professional defense of a client begins with a meeting with the client to learn the facts of the case and the clients general background.

Mr. Pflaum then analyzes the criminal file presented by the prosecution including the alleged victims account of the case, witness statements, police reports, and the evidence seized or gathered by the police.

The interview with the client and examination of the criminal file form the basis of the defense case.

The question of how and when to best resolve a charge of battery depends on the circumstances and the evidence.

There are many effective defenses to battery.

  • Self-defense
  • Defense of another
  • Defense of property
  • Insufficient evidence
  • No proof beyond a reasonable doubt
  • One person’s word against another
  • Lack of corroboration
  • Lack of credibility of witnesses
  • Bias of witness
  • Motive to lie

Plea Bargain.  A plea bargain is a pretrial agreement between the client, lawyer, prosecutor, and judge that may eliminate or reduce the original criminal charges, avoid time in prison or jail,  and reduce the fines.

Good plea bargains come about because Mr. Pflaum presents favorable information about his client.

He also carefully reviews the alleged victims credibility, the police reports, and witness statements to develop the strengths of the clients case.

By the same process he develops weaknesses in the prosecutors case such as inconsistencies in witness statements, problems with the arrest or the investigation, and evidence that may be missing or inconclusive.

Jury Trial.  Some cases, depending on the clients position, may proceed to jury trial where Mr. Pflaum has had substantial success.

Determining the most effective trial strategy depends first on the elements of the criminal accusation, the corresponding defenses, and the evidence available to the defense and prosecution.

Winning the trial begins by picking an excellent jury, making an effective opening statement, offering proper direct testimony, vigorously cross examining prosecution witnesses, and ending with a dynamic closing argument.

Additional defenses are noted above.
