Action Steps You Should Take When Falsely Accused Of Sexual Assault Every year, the United States judicial system alone must deal with more than half a million sexual assault cases. While it is a devastating crime to these victims it can be as devastating to the person who is falsely accused of such a heinous crime. While it is often much harder for society to accept that a fair percentage of these crimes are based on false accusations and it is much easier for a community to ostracize the accused, these false accusations can ruin your life and you deserve fair legal presentation. Over recent years the team at John Grasso, a leading legal firm based in Rhode Island, presented several clients who had false sexual assault charges against them. They share some valuable tips to help you get through your trial with success, to get the point where you can get your life back on track. The first moment of confrontation with these accusations, usually soon followed by the legal charges against you, can be quite overwhelming. Yet, there is no time to ponder on what is happening to your life and the sooner you realize in how much trouble you are in and find the necessary legal presentation, the better your chances to enjoy the outcome you are searching for will be. The United States of America offers a wealth of attorneys and your choice of finding legal representation is wide but be sure to hire the right kind of attorney and one with a trusted reputation. It is not the time when you want to compare quotes as you need the best possible representation in court you can get. It is also not the time to rely on a family member who might be an expert in divorces but knows little about criminal law. You need a criminal law expert by your side, such as one of the legal experts at John Grasso. It is the time when you need to be proactive and do everything you possibly can to prove your innocence. The conviction rate on these kinds of cases is in general quite high and you would have to do all you can to show the court through the aid of evidence that you are innocent. When you have a trusted and reputable legal expert by your side, you can work with them to find all the evidence, eyewitnesses and alibis to prove your innocence to the court. To help you with the process it is best if you can establish a timeline of your exact whereabouts for the day in question. It is helpful to add people willing to testify to your presence at these various points and if you can account for every moment of your day. Get science on your side. Over recent years the field of science has reached a point of immense advancement. While many kinds of testing were not possible only a few years ago, there are many new tests and procedures available today to be able to prove your innocence with the support of scientific results. Use this medium as effectively and efficiently as possible in your case. Remember that from the moment when you first received the charges against you until probably even after the case, your behaviour, words and actions will be under a microscope.
While it can be tremendously stressful, it is important to watch what you say and do, to whom you say what and make sure that whatever you say or do, it does not implicate you in any way. Lastly, the John Grasso team emphasizes that even though this is a tremendously challenging time, that you are unfairly in the specific position and that you did not deserve the immense disruption to your life, do not ever give up. Work hard and stay positive.
