Some Common Defenses For Domestic Violence Charges Include:


SELF-DEFENSE

The most common defense for domestic violence cases is self-defense. If you can prove that you were acting in self-defense, you may be able to have the charges against you dropped. In order to prove self-defense, you must show that:

  • You were not the initial aggressor.
  • You had a reasonable fear of imminent harm.
  • The force you used was necessary and proportional to the threat.

FALSE ACCUSATIONS

Another common defense for domestic violence charges is that the accusations against you are false. In order for this defense to be successful, you must be able to prove that:

  • The accuser made the allegations knowing they were false.
  • The accuser had a motive for making the false allegations.
  • You have evidence to back up your defense.

LACK OF EVIDENCE

Another common defense for domestic violence cases is lack of evidence. In order for this defense to be successful, you must be able to show that:

  • There is no physical evidence linking you to the crime.
  • There is no eyewitness testimony connecting you to the crime.
  • The accuser has a history of making false allegations.
