Denver, CO criminal defense attorney Michael Sheehan discusses the possible defenses that might be available in a CO domestic violence case. He points out that in domestic violence cases, he often saw self-defense raised as a common defense, as well as defense of others. Equally frequent was the claim that the allegations were entirely fabricated—that nothing had actually occurred and that the accusations were baseless, relying solely on the alleged victim’s word. Ultimately, these cases often boiled down to a classic “he said, she said” scenario.
