What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
If there is a more appropriate forum, please tell me.
I am trying to decide whether or not to accept the deferred prosectution agreement that was offered for assauly with injury charge. I am innocent. They have no proof of anything beyond a police report, which states there were no marks or bruises, and my 911 call which I made myself and was perfectly calm making no incremenating statements. I am leaning towards a jury trial as I know I am innocent and that there is no evidence.
As part of my trial strategy I told my lawyer, that my ex-girlfriend has been diagnosed bi-polar and bulemic, she was prone to fits, and was on medication for it at the time of the incident. She had been missing her medication. I feel this is very important in my case to help prove she was the aggressor.
My lawyer claims I cannot collect or use any medical evidence in a trial. Is this true!?!? Why? How am I suppose to defend myself and prove my ex-girlfriend is nutts and attacked me?
