How to Win a Self-Defense Case Like a Pro 👮♂️
One of the biggest mistakes I see in self-defense cases is the victim talking to the cops right away. I know, it seems like it would make sense to talk to the police, explain the situation, and clear your name. But, when it comes to self-defense cases, it's best to give police the smallest amount of evidence as possible so they can't prove you did it maliciously.
The only true exception to this rule is if you have video evidence of someone attacking you and you were clearly minding your own business beforehand. But, you should still limit the verbal statement you provide, as the police will refer back to this constantly while they're collecting other statements and evidence. The ideal situation is invoking your fifth amendment right to remain silent until your lawyer is present.
