[QUOTE="ricco, post: 3769515, member: 46005"] If it goes to trial........ There is a reason, actually a couple of reasons, that on average Prosecutors have 90+% win rates. Prosecutors typically take cases they believe they can win and the other reason is that most people don't have the money to go trial and are forced into a plea bargin. On a killing charge bail alone might be half a million dollars, that's $50,000 you will never see again. If you want to have a CHANCE of winning you will spend in the mid to high 6 figures, possibly more. You will need expert witnesses and private detectives, you will have to try to match hour for hour and dollar for dollar everything the state can to bring to the trial. Can you take the stand in your own defense, most people can't and shouldn't, Prosecutors are very skilled in shredding the average person. Watch some homocide trials, it will give you a new perspective on the criminal justice system. [/QUOTE]
