Different Types of Criminal Defenses

If you have been charged with a crime, you have the right to defend yourself against the charges. There are many different types of defenses that can be used to challenge the prosecution’s case and fight for a favorable outcome.

Some of the most common types of criminal defenses include:

An alibi is a defense used to prove that the defendant was somewhere else when the crime was committed. Alibi defenses often rely on witness testimony, video surveillance, or other types of evidence.
Self-defense is a defense that is used to prove that the defendant used reasonable force to protect themselves from harm. Self-defense is a common defense in assault and battery cases.
Insanity is a defense that is used to prove that the defendant did not have the mental capacity to understand that their actions were wrong. Insanity defenses are relatively rare and can be difficult to prove.
Entrapment is a defense that is used to prove that the defendant was induced or coerced by law enforcement to commit a crime that they would not have otherwise committed. Entrapment defenses are relatively rare and can be difficult to prove.
The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution protects individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures. If the police obtained evidence against you through an illegal search and seizure, it may be possible to have that evidence suppressed.

Our Jacksonville criminal defense attorney can review the facts of your case and help you determine the best defense strategy for your situation.
