His clients told me didn’t do it. There are no bruises and there you go so it’s quite easy to get convicted on word alone. Happens every day. Clients are a little shocked about that. It is why you really need to prepare very diligently to be able to testify if you’re a person who who’s not that articulate, who has a hard time coming across in public, which is what court is, is going to be difficult for you to get a lawyer to work with you very hard, so that the truth comes out. But ultimately, the judge is going to have to decide who’s credible, who is reliable. Imply the burden of proof and determine if the evidence supports a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt. So that’s the conundrum unfortunately. Let’s face it, witnesses lie accused lie all the time. Sometimes I’m not saying all the time, but occasionally victims lie as well. Alleged victims. And they can come across fantastically. I’ve seen it happen. And on the other hand, I’ve seen clients of mine I represent the odd over my career I’m sure the off innocent person as opposed to that presumption of innocence I mean truthfully innocent who just can’t come across well, and I’ve seen convictions, people convicted. And on the other hand of the coin, I’ve unfortunately seen so many truthful complainants telling the truth women and men present as a disaster as a witness to the stand and they’re just beat up by the defense counsel. Unfortunately. It’s not a good situation so, you know, the court system is a little bit of unsatisfactory. Obviously that situation just happens but the bottom line is, are the domestic assault situation is usually one person’s word against the other the thing is about that is it also makes it you know, in the hands of a good defense lawyer you often, usually win a situation like that and especially if there is no bruising or to her evidence, there it is the convictions, whether a conviction on word alone in a domestic assault situation.
