FLORIDA DEFENSE OF PROPERTY LAWYER
|
Defenses to Violent Crimes
I was just getting my stuff back from that thief! Now Im charged with a crime? To prove the defense of property, we must show that the accuser was trespassing or otherwise wrongfully interfering with land or personal property. Also, we must show that the land or personal property must have lawfully been in your possession, in the possession of a member of your family or in the possession of some person whose property he was under a legal duty to protect. The last element we have to prove is you must have reasonably believed that your use of force was necessary to prevent or terminate the accusers wrongful behavior.
The whole issue at trial is going to be whether your actions in defending your property were reasonable. For instance, you cant shoot somebody if they are only taking a pen from you. Generally, the defense has no burden of proof. However, with a defense of property claim, we have to prove that you reasonably believed your conduct was necessary to defend your property.
The jury must judge you by the circumstances you were surrounded by at the time the force was used. Every case is different. What is reasonable defense of property is defined by the jury that you and your criminal defense lawyer pick.
