FAQ - Commonly Asked Questions
Common defense strategies include alibi, where evidence or witnesses show the accused was elsewhere when the crime occurred; self-defense, arguing the accused acted to protect themselves or others from harm; mistaken identity, asserting the accused was misidentified as the perpetrator; lack of intent, arguing there was no intention to commit the crime; entrapment, claiming law enforcement induced the accused to commit the offence; the insanity defense, asserting the accused was not of sound mind at the time of the offense; and challenging violations of rights, seeking to suppress evidence obtained through unlawful means. Each strategy depends on the specifics of the case and may vary in effectiveness. Jalili Law Firm will determine the best approach based on the circumstances.
