• You are Innocent Until You are Proven Guilty

Unfortunately, sometimes innocent parties get trapped in legal proceedings that usually are imposed to punish the guilty parties.  According to the law, an individual is considered innocent until the individual is proven guilty in the court. Only those individuals are sentenced to jail or fined that have proved guilty, otherwise they can prove their actual innocence. To prove the actual innocence, the suspected has to present an appeal in the court to bring some new evidence in the light of the jury. In this way, the suspected will be able to show some new evidence in the court which can prove their innocent.

• Going for a Dismissal 

You have to hire an experienced criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible, as some professional attorneys can try to interfere before the prosecution even files charges. Moreover, an attorney can contact the investigating or arresting official before the case sends to the prosecution, or even try to contact the prosecutor before the filing decision is made. In less criminal cases, there is more chance that your defense lawyer might be able to clarify the incident in such manners that the case never goes for legal proceedings. But, sometimes it does not work in crucial circumstances.

• When to Present New Evidence

 As we know, presenting your innocent in the court is not an easy task, so you must hire one of the best attorneys who can assist you with an actual innocence claim. However, you must have knowledge of the fact that before the completion of the trial, you cannot present any new evidence in the light of the jury. Only your defense lawyer is able to use the proof to show that you have no role in the illegal activity and is innocent of the offense.

• When to Declare your Actual Innocence?

When the trial is completed, you may have two situations as mentioned below:

1. First situation: In first circumstances, the suspected has not committed the crime and has been observed mistakenly by the witnesses indulged into the offense.
2. Second situation: In the second circumstances, there is no evidence that can prove any defendant’s engagement in the criminal activity.

• Let the Case Happen

Most of the professional attorney takes a decision to wait for the case to play out a role to defend their defendant, as it is considered as the best move for their party. Sometimes, it can take a number of months for the prosecution to identify the situation and insufficient evidence properly to use against the defendant party.

On the other hand, a case might be dismissed because the defense gets success in a pretrial motion, for example; one to suppress illegitimately detained evidence. Beside it, there is more likelihood of that defense lawyer will win the first round hearing, and the prosecution may decide not to file the case again. It completely depends on the individual case.
