What are the Best Defenses to Robbery Cases?
- Alibi Defense: This defense is used if it can be proven that the defendant was somewhere else entirely at the time that the robbery was committed. This can be proven by security camera footage, testimony from someone the accused was with at the time, or receipts from restaurants or stores around the same time. This introduces reasonable doubt and can easily prevent a conviction.
- Mistaken Identity: This defense argues that the accused was simply not the person who actually committed the crime. Eye witnesses are often inconsistent in their testimony as the length of time between the date of the incident and the date of trial can be months long. A skilled defense attorney can cast doubt on such evidence and testimony in order to bring about an acquittal.
- Insufficient Evidence: This defense argues that the prosecution has failed to provide enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the crime. If the prosecution fails to prove their case to such a high level, the case could end in an acquittal.
