Domestic Violence Lawyer Windsor
Domestic Violence Lawyer Windsor: Have you been charged with an offence in the context of a domestic relationship? People who are charged with these offences and the alleged victims of these of offences often have misconceptions about how these matters proceed.
For example, lay people commonly believe that the alleged victim can “drop the charges”. This is not the case. The police make the decision to lay charges and the Crown Prosecutor makes the decision to proceed with charges to completion or not. However, oftentimes the alleged victim is the only witness to the alleged offence and the prosecution of the accused relies heavily on the evidence of the alleged victim.
If you are charged with an offence against a domestic partner it is very important to understand that although normally, viva voce evidence is required on trial date for the prosecutor to obtain a conviction, previous statements or utterances are often used to pin witnesses down to their original account of the domestic altercation.
