Hiring the best criminal defense lawyer is important. Specially if you are like Jude Law who was said to have hit a female photographer in the face. This is an illegal or even criminal act which could subject the actor to liability. But only if the act was really done. Therefore, a lot of fact finding and investigation needs to be done. And the more so in criminal defense where a lot is at stake.
Mr. Law said that he did not intend to hit anybody. According to him, he merely put up his hand to get his bearings which may or may not have hit the girl. Based on the facts reported so far, this is also a possible scenario.
Most criminal defense cases are like this. It’s a question of whether something was done or happened. While there are also cases which are mostly a question of law, a lot of the time they are a question of fact. In such cases, investigation and the Rule on Evidence are the criminal defense attorney’s best tools. It is a very difficult and time consuming process, this job of seeking the truth and preventing the innocent from getting punished or convicted.
