A conviction on drug charges can derail a Florida resident's life plans and throw into question the possibilities for their future. Whether they are arrested and then convicted on possession charges, manufacturing charges, distribution charges or others, there is little a person can do after prosecutors have proven their cases and successfully secured verdicts in their favor. However, it is possible to defend oneself against drug charges, and in some cases, criminal defendants can overcome their charges by examining deficiencies and problems in their prosecutors' cases.
Is there a criminal defense to an assault charge?
A number of defenses exist that may mitigate or overcome an assault or battery charge. However, the availability of each defense will turn on whether the facts of the case support its assertion. If a Florida resident fails to prove a defense and support it with evidence, then it may not serve to protect the individual from a criminal conviction. As such, readers who wish to learn how these and other defenses may support their cases are advised to speak with their criminal defense lawyers.
