Self Defense Legal Strategies

Idaho in front of father and sons home in the street

An attorney

I'd like information on defenses on how to get the charges dismissed

Can you give her the details on any relevant information or guidance you may have

How would this type of case be represented and what type of defenses would be available for a person like that and this situation

Is that considered harassment if that aggressor came back around on the same street again after the initial confrontation or situation that occurred

client acted in defense of his minor son, who was threatened by [Aggressor’s Name]'s aggressive actions. The following points highlight the justification for my client’s actions: Reasonable Fear: My client had a reasonable fear for his son’s safety due to [Aggressor’s Name]'s erratic and aggressive behavior. [Aggressor’s Name] attempted to hit my client’s son and acted in a manner that posed an imminent threat. Proportional Response: The force used by my client was proportional to the threat posed by [Aggressor’s Name]. Given the circumstances, my client’s response was reasonable and necessary to prevent harm to his son. Stand Your Ground: Under Idaho’s “Stand Your Ground” law, my client had no duty to retreat and was justified in defending himself and his son in a place where they had a right to be. Lack of Evidence The prosecution lacks sufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that my client’s actions were not justified. The following points further support this claim: No Physical Injuries to My Client or His Son: There were no physical injuries sustained by my client or his son, indicating that my client acted solely to prevent harm. Erratic Behavior of [Aggressor’s Name]: [Aggressor’s Name]'s behavior was erratic and aggressive, further justifying my client’s reasonable fear and protective actions. Selective Enforcement: The officers failed to address the apparent DUI situation involving [Aggressor’s Name]'s father, despite clear signs of intoxication. This selective enforcement raises questions about the thoroughness and fairness of the investigation. Character References: My client has provided character references that attest to his peaceful nature and lack of prior aggressive behavior. These references support the claim that my client acted in self-defens
