The allegation is not the proof
Violent-crime statutes can turn on injury, intent, weapon allegations, fear, and the identity or conduct of each participant. A charging decision is not a finding of guilt.
Counsel can examine medical records, photographs, video, 911 evidence, witness accounts, and the sequence of events, including evidence that may support justification or mistaken identity.
Release conditions deserve attention
Courts may set conditions involving contact, residence, weapons, travel, or alcohol. Read every condition, follow it exactly, and ask counsel before seeking a change.
A violation can create additional consequences and complicate the original case. Keep copies of all orders and release paperwork.
A defense built for the facts
Case strategy may involve investigation, constitutional motions, negotiation, or trial. It should account for the client's goals, the available proof, and the court's instructions.
