How to Beat a Domestic Violence Charge in Columbus Ohio
Domestic Violence is Physical or Verbal abuse towards a family or household member. Judges and Prosecutors take these allegations more seriously than almost any other misdemeanor in Ohio which often means the accused is unable to return home and protection orders may be issued meaning long separations from family are common.
Criminal Domestic Violence Charges carry a presumption of innocence but it will not feel that way as you proceed through court. Beating Domestic Violence charges through not guilty findings at trial or outright dismissals by prosecuting attorneys happens. Domestic Violence cases get dismissed when a Defense Attorney can convince the Government that the sparse evidence and statements in the heat of the moment may meet the probable cause threshold but it will be insufficient to persuade a jury.
Domestic Violence where there was some contact but no intent to harm the victim, self-defense against an aggressive family member, and allegations made as a power play during a divorce are all common reasons prosecutors or jurors eventually dismiss domestic violence charges.
