hit their legal Warriors falsely accused if you're falsely accused of a crime that is one of the worst things anybody can go through and you totally feel helpless but in this video I'm going to cover what you need to do to not feel helpless and improve your chances of not being wrongfully convicted if you're interested in this area of the law stay tuned because this is the video for you my name is attorney Lance fryer I'm a defense attorney in Linwood Washington my law firm's been defeating people charged with crimes all throughout Washington state for more than 20 years and we're putting out these videos to help educate the public so if you find this useful please like and please subscribe more people will get the help they need I'm just going to jump right into it being falsely accused you know I've been a defense attorney for a long time and in most cases you know we can have differences of opinion about what happened but it's not usually black and white and absolute false allegation and when those situations do happen oftentimes it could be a certain type of sex offense it could be child abuse cases things are there black and white and there's more motivation of the accuser to lie those are so hard on our clients because I get I get asked the question well there's no evidence well you know the evidence is that person's word versus your word and so those are the situations where my clients are the most frustrated and I think there's at least three things to remember and to do when we are dealing with an absolute false accusation type case I mean black and white you know they beat me up and you were never in the same state you know that type of situation so I think the most important thing that we can do if we're accused if we're in that situation to not just lose our lose our mind is begin to think about what the motivations are for the false allegation there's always going to be a motivation for a totally out of the blue allegation that is 100 false um and ones that come to my mind would be uh you know a child who was in trouble at home for some reason and now to get out of trouble they start claiming someone else did something to them someone else abused them in some way and now they go from being in trouble with Mom and Dad to there now the victim of mom and dad and getting love and affection right um and people can actually be victims of Christ and I'm saying this is assuming it's a false allegation before I get a bunch of negative comments I'm assuming that I assume that it's a lie that some accuser is lying about something what are the reasons for the lie okay what's another possible reason well it could be a custody dispute right there's a custody dispute and one parent says my child told me that X Y and Z happened or they've got a bruise that was caused by the other parent and the other parent had nothing to do with it right the accused person nothing to do with it well you know what's the motivation well perhaps to gain advantage in some type of custody situation um there can be other situations hey I dumped my boyfriend and now he's saying that uh I stole something from him or I assaulted him you know and what's the possible reason of the false allegation Revenge right so if we we have to start with what are the possible reasons for the Black and White Lie by the accuser so we eventually can build a story while uh doing other things in the case build the believable version when I say story that was immunalized the believable version of The Facts why someone would make this up because the system doesn't want to believe people just make things up right the police don't want to believe people just make things up sometimes they figure that out and I commend the police for that but naturally their job is to follow up Matthew from so many times people say why would they lie right why would they lie and um so that's so hard to deal with I think while we're doing that is that was number one the second thing I think we need to do is keep taking it affirmative steps in the case even if we're wrongfully accused the client the person in the situation the accused still needs to take affirmative steps because there's many ways to get out of a case if we're not going to get an apology at an admission then it's a false allegation uh let's still try to get the case dismissed however we can because that's what matters right and what matters is we need to not be convicted of something we didn't do so we still need to take affirmative steps don't get shut down right you might need to do the alcohol treatment or the anger management or whatever the attorney wants you to do don't make the mistake and shut you down and say well because I'm innocent I'm not doing anything right and that's just dumb okay that is sort of naive way of thinking that that somehow the truth will set me free the truth will save me already done a video on that the truth will not save you right because no one knows what the truth is um hopefully we get to it um and uh hopefully we make it there but sometimes the truth won't come out let's still try to get it dismissed even if the truth doesn't come out and as part of this uh the third thing is please be prepared to go to trial right be prepared to go to trial is number three because on a major felony the prosecutor is not going to back down right they can't right if their complainer their alleged victim is saying it happened they're going to present the case unless the alleged victim falls apart they're going to present the case so be prepared to go to trial it's hard to do it's expensive it's costly to be prepared and so why do we want you to be prepared to go to trial because as the case gets closer to trial here's what we've learned sometimes uh it's hard to maintain the line the motivation as as time passes of the alleged victim uh you know may dissipate if they're angry well they're less angry as time passes if it was a custody issue maybe they've already got the custody right um if they were in trouble with Mom and Dad maybe they're no longer in trouble with Mom and Dad and so it's there's more of a personal cost for them to maintain the LIE over time um and if they get if we're going towards a trial then we get to question them and do things and now there's an actual you know actual cost of them emotionally when they get challenged versus just everyone going oh poor thing right again this is assuming that they're lying this is what we're talking about um so be prepared because sometimes it's hard for that lie to hold up long term also be prepared because prosecutors especially the good ones they've been around the block they're not idiots okay the good prosecutors the brave prosecutors they can sometimes when they finally get a chance chance to sit down with their alleged Victim Because they're so busy they don't really have a chance maybe never even met them and they pushed the cases far and they get to sit down before the interviews now they can see now they may be able to see what's going on and in some cases the complaining witness the alleged victim presents so poorly the prosecutor might get rid of the case right the prosecutor might change the off of the prosecutor might go oh my goodness we've got this wrong or I think we have it wrong and so that's why you have to be prepared to go to trial because good things can happen right you know again you hear me talk about we always want to avoid trial I think if we can make the case go away in another way but if you've been wrongfully accused if it's a major case the only way to make it go away to have any chance is to push on is to push forward and you're going to listen to your attorneys if the case looks hopeless with they may tell you not to we don't know but I think that is the third pointer if you're falsely accused of a crime so what was number one number one think about what's in it for them to lie what is their motivation right number two don't give up still do the affirmative steps don't look for only one way out in step three be prepared to go all the way because in the long run it's hard to maintain a lie and the motivations may change to maintain the lie a year or two into the case and so I don't want you to give up when I first planned this video I don't plan many videos I I have a fourth which is you know stay positive but I think um I could say that without making it another state positive because usually the lights don't hold up all right so thanks for hanging in there with me um if you find this video useful please like and please subscribe more people get to see it more importantly if you've got a criminal case if you need some help if you're in Washington state give miles a call listen to what happened we'll identify a way forward and we will be there for you thank you [Music]
