Q: Person1 attacks and injuries Person2.
Person1 attacks and injuries Person2. Person1 was able to persuade witnesses that it’s actually Person2 who initiated the attack and Person1 only defending himself as result to injuring Person2. The truth is Person2 was the one defending and Person1 is the attacker. Can Person2 win this case?
A: It may depend on who is more believable and how the evidence is presented.
Tim Akpinar agrees with this answer
A: Whether Person2 can win the case depends on various factors, including the evidence presented, witness testimonies, and the overall credibility of the parties involved. If Person2 can provide compelling evidence, such as surveillance footage, corroborating witness statements, or any other relevant evidence, that supports their claim of self-defense and contradicts Person1's version of events, it could significantly strengthen their case. However, the final outcome will ultimately be determined by the judge or jury based on the evaluation of all the evidence presented. Consulting with a criminal defense attorney who can assess the specific details of the case and provide tailored legal advice is crucial for maximizing the chances of success.
