What to Do When Arrested for Domestic Violence
If you are arrested for domestic violence, remain utterly calm and take advantage of your right to remain silent. Do not speak to any law enforcement or detectives without an attorney present. Give them your correct name and ask to speak to an attorney at Leifert & Leifert.
The successful prosecution of domestic violence cases in Boynton Beach requires a lot of evidence. Violent behavior with law enforcement or in jail does not help your case. Relax and remain polite.
Evidence in Domestic Violence Cases
Law enforcement, federal employees, investigators, and detectives might work hard to manipulate you into a confession or other admissions of partial guilt. Stay silent, no matter what investigators say.
Admissions and Confessions
As former prosecutors, we know many investigators who say things like:
- “We have it all on video.”
- “Your friend is in the next room, and they told us everything.”
- “We found your DNA, fingerprints, and footprints at the scene.”
These statements are often false. Investigators are fishing for information, in hopes it will help them with the prosecution of your Boynton Beach domestic violence case.
Discovery
A prosecutor will provide evidence to the Defendant, Judge, and Jury. However, there can be no surprises in a fair trial. Prosecutors must first provide the supposed evidence to the defendant, which helps us prepare for the trial and create a defense. This is called the “discovery” phase.
Common examples of evidence in domestic violence cases include police reports, cell phone records, social media posts, photos, cell phone videos, and reports made by healthcare providers.
Still, it is the prosecution’s responsibility to prove domestic violence occurred, beyond a reasonable doubt, to a jury of your peers.
