What are some effective defenses in an assault case in Florida?
Answer: Effective defenses would be if, kind of like a self-defense. If the other person was coming at the defendant or the charged individual, then that would be a defense for that. It would be a great way to say, “Well I was in imminent fear so I went to protect myself in an attempt to prevent them from committing a battery on myself.” That is one of the most common types of defenses.
