For as many types of offenses as there are there are just as many if not more defenses and tools that a Dallas Criminal Defense Attorney has at their disposal. One of those tools is called a grand jury packet. A grand jury packet is a presentation that a Criminal Defense Attorney can put together to attempt to get a sexual assault case no billed or to make it go away.
A grand jury packet can include information that generally is not admissible in a court of law. A criminal defense attorney is not allowed to go into the grand jury proceeding in person, but can send written material in to be consider. This presentation can mean all the difference in whether or not the prosecution of a sexual assault case goes to the next stage.
Some of the items that can be included in a grand jury packet are:
- Letters of good character;
- Favorable polygraph results;
- Legal research
- Expert witness affidavits and reports
- Test reports from tests designed to determine a persons propensity to be a pedaphile;
- Military records
- School records
- Favorable psychological tests;
- Evidence of victims history of making false allegations; and
- Many other types of evidence that show the Defendant's innocence.
Utilizing these tools, however, requires that a person to contact and retain an attorney as soon as the allegation and learned about. A grand jury packet has to be put together and submit before the grand jury meets to discuss that person's case.
