what kind of person is your accuser if you're facing any criminal charge involving some illicit meaning unlawful illegal interaction between you and another person whether it's sexual in nature or if that person accused you of having physically harmed them in some way or vandalize their property again these are crimes between persons generally speaking you've actually injured another person I'm not really talking so much about like a drug possession case that's probably a topic for another video I'm talking specifically about where some one a specific person or persons are accusing you of something embarrassing humiliating and which happens to be illegal for example a sexual battery or similar allegation okay the prosecutor's case is gonna rest primarily not exclusively but primarily on the credibility the believability of the accuser and how this person how the prosecutor thinks this person is gonna measure up in court are there going to be a sympathetic witness is a jury gonna empathize with them as opposed to the opposite is this person excuse the language is this person a bullshitter is this person does this person have a reputation or a string of false allegations behind them or they histrionic are they the kind of person that a jury would not want a place to their trust in okay so these are three tips on how to deal with that how to deal with an accuser specifically how to show the government the prosecutor in your case that the accuser is not really a trustworthy or believable person making this in a few other videos for folks who just don't have the financial resources at the time to hire an attorney or maybe you do have an attorney but you you're doing your own homework and you're taking an active role in your defense but maybe this is something that you want to discuss with your attorney but primarily these are this type of video is for somebody who doesn't have counsel does not want state aport appointed counsel they think they can go at it alone I don't recommend it but to each his own okay so here goes tip number one don't intimidate the accuser don't contact the accuser many several important reasons for that primarily you don't you know they say the first rule of holes is to stop digging you're just gonna dig yourself into a deeper hole if you contact this person pressure them against proceeding with their accusation or even that you know what you think is gently nudging them could be construed by the prosecutor by the police by the government is being witness intimidation which is yet another criminal charge you'll have to face if you engage in that behavior so and let's say that doesn't even happen let's say that you nothing comes out of the fact that you reach out to the accuser now I will tell you even without the witness intimidation charge that could come out of that generally speaking I mean in almost every single case at a Delta this nature there is a protective order you can't contact the victim the complaining witness let's say okay so then you'd be violating that protective order if you do that let's say let's take that off all assume none of that is a risk let's say that nothing adverse could happen to you from contacting the complaining witness which I've never seen the problem is that you anything you continue to tell that person even if they don't contact the police and say you're trying to pressure them that's that's all stuff that can be subpoenaed by the prosecutor I mean if it's texting back and forth or whatever that can be even if you think you're helping your case by doing that maybe explaining yourself to the person you have to understand that that's just gonna be more evidence now a lot of evidence that seems exculpatory meaning it could make you think he could help you you know it could be interpreted the opposite direction also the prosecutor could take a string of texts that you think they're helping your case initiated by you to the complaining witness and they can say that it actually helps maybe prove consciousness of guilt or whatever just don't talk to them okay if you have counsel look at the lawyer talk to me that's not something you need to get involved with you've got to confront your case head-on so like I said stop digging the hole any bigger than you've already have by incurring this criminal accusation and let's move on to tip number two now some of this might sound a little bit Machiavellian okay you have to understand I'm a criminal defense attorney my fundamental priority in every case is to help make sure my client does not get convicted at all if that is not possible because the evidence is absolutely overwhelming then to minimize as much as possible avoid jail avoid you know lengthy probation that sort of thing so that's the mindset I'm coming from what I'm about to tell you what I'm about to tell you you will probably want a private investigator you know now private investigators are not as expensive as that used to be a lot of that is due to the market prior to the internet there was there were very few methods of digging dirt up on another person and the Internet has its limitations sometimes you want to go the extra mile get yourself a private investigator they'll probably work with you on the fees or the the private investigator market is pretty saturated you'll probably be able to find a reasonable reasonably charged or excuse me a private investigator that charges reasonably like if you can't afford an attorney but maybe you can afford a couple hundred bucks for a private investigator this is fundamentally important because again as I said earlier the prosecutors case rests on the believability the credibility of the accuser so the accuser has a history of lying making up allegations against people that don't pan out into any sort of criminal conviction the prosecutors gonna have a tough time convincing a jury that whatever the accuser is saying about you that you groped or committed some sexually illicit conduct against their will you know at the end of the day the jury is the one that determines the facts they're the ones that decide whether stuff happened or didn't so the prosecutors witness has to be somebody that they can believe and a private investigator might shed light on previous incidents of such false allegations getting made and that can be very powerful evidence and the reason for that is twofold number one if your case goes to trial now I wouldn't recommend you cross-examining a witness if you don't know the evidence rules that's why I always say better to have an experienced exclusively criminal defense attorney and even than somebody who handles this type of accusation significantly not just part-time but if you are going to engage in that if you're gonna be the one to cross-examine the the accuser the person who's accusing you of groping or whatever illegal conduct against them any past allegation they've made of this sort anything that that reflects poorly on their honesty on their believability you're gonna be able to impeach impeach means to erode the believability of that witness in front of the jury impeaching their pet so it's called impeaching the credibility of the witness okay is this person a drug abuser does this person have felony convictions now you have to understand that the prosecutor is gonna defend their witness to the hilt they're gonna object objection irrelevant blah blah blah okay you got to be prepared for that I hate to say it but I mean you have to understand the consequences of getting going down for example on a sex crime I mean you're talking lifetime sex offender registration and the vast majority of states I'm stem in California we now currently have a lifetime sex offender registration it's embarrassing as hell people can find you online and see what you did and make your life miserable so you have to understand the repercussions of going down on this type of crime you can't play games you have to go the extra mile and you have to stack up you know with within limits okay I'm not no illegal surveillance I'm not talking about that I'm just talking about it and then an ethical investigator who can dig up dirt on this person because if you don't then you're gonna have a person no matter how dishonest he or she has been in the past the jury is gonna believe them and unless you can undermine their believability okay now lastly I'm gonna wrap up here video videos getting a bit long actually goes back to what I said before as this person made other types of accusations doesn't even necessarily have to be regarding for example if it's a sex offense necessarily about that have they accused somebody in the civilian context of a you know filed frivolous lawsuits have they accused falsely their employer or business partner or anything like that you need to see if there's a history of doing that stuff because at the end of the day the jury has to be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that's the highest standard in the land now the one thing I want to give a summation of here is how important it is to show the prosecutor this now there are some attorneys who don't think that's a good idea they want to hold in other words they kind of want to ambush the prosecutor with last-minute evidence of that impeaches the accuser I personally do not subscribe to them and the reason for that is oftentimes in most cases you're gonna be probably dealing with a prosecutor who was just trying to do their job I know that's hard to believe but that has been my experience and I've been able to uncover a lot of problems with witness credibility of accusers against my clients and the prosecutor you know there you don't want any generally speaking they're not interested in locking you up if you're innocent I mean it doesn't do them any good at the end of the day you know scandals can come out of the Hat and false conviction and trying to overturn the conviction they generally speaking won an ironclad case so you might as well turn over to the to the prosecutor any evidence that you've got that this person has a problem with telling the truth obviously the downside of that is though just some prosecutors will try to rehabilitate their witness make their testimony as ironclad as possible coach them I think you got to do a risk-benefit analysis at the end of the day the risk of that is lower than the benefit of the probability that the prosecutor simply gonna they might even throw out the case completely or at least minimize it to something where you don't have to face some daunting thing like being on the Lifetime sex offender registry or even if that's not the case but having a conviction on your record I mean try getting a job like that try getting a job with a violent crime conviction tell me how that pans out for you because generally speaking it does not okay so this has been three tips on unbasic aliy digging up dirt on your accuser on uncovering any history of lying you've got to know what kind of person your accuser is thanks for watching
