    Default Re: Domestic Battery Charge Based on a False Accusation

    Thanks for the replies everyone (even the ones with life advice lol)

    I'm assuming at my first court appearance would be the opportunity to request a court appointed lawyer, correct? And should I call the station and request the police report beforehand?

    One doesn't. But when a victim tells a story that includes alleged conduct that should have left marks, it's a huge red flag when there are none. It is also harder to get a conviction when there is no physical evidence.

    If someone walks up to you and grabs your shirt, is that assault? Yes. Are you going to get a conviction for it? Not a very good chance. Similar thing in domestic violence cases, unless the law is written in a much more vague manner (which some are.
    )
    I did not say otherwise.

    You, however, did.
