Answered by attorney Evan H Nass (Unclaimed Profile)

Hi, Unfortunately videos often show less than the Defendant (or the Defehndant's family) believes them to show. For instance, in your boyfriends case, what to you looks simply like a minor brawl, could easily be portrayed as a gang assault to a jury by even a rookie prosecutor. What I have learned from experience is that every single time (and I mean this literally, every single time) a person has come into my office with video proof of innocence, the video shows nothing that proves anything. And in fact, most of the time, it shows guilt.  That being said, if the video does objectively show his innocence of the crime charged, and his attorney didn't know about it, or knew about it and forget to include it as evidence (as opposed to knowingly and intentionally not bringing the video into evidence for numerous strategic reasons which may exist) then your boyfriend can file an appeal for ineffective assistance of counsel or simply appeal for any of the many grounds that he may have (like new evidence coming to light, etc.).  I got to say however, that there is a vast difference between "proving his innocence" and proving that he wasn't in a gang assault - just rather a massive 10 person assault. The video, if it shows what you're describing, seems to prove exactly the opposite of "innocence" but rather a guy involved in a 10 person fight. Sounds like a gang assault to me, and apparently the jury agrees. Even without this video.  Sounds like his attorney made the right move by not letting it in. Unfortunately, he was still found guilty and thats a chance one takes when they resort to violence.  Evan H. Nass, Esq.

What are the chances for a defendant in a case where 3 witnesses all say the defendant is guilty?

It all depends on much detail they provide and how credible they are. It will be up to the defense to poke as many holes in their story or bring out possible bias or any problems that could reflect on their memory.

Are all burglary cases felonies?

Answered by attorney Ross Scaccia (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Ross Scaccia, Attorney at Law
Yes, all burglary cases are felonies. What's going to happen to you depends, first of all - are you guilty. Other considerations - what did you burglarize, a store or a residence; what time of the day was it ...did you force your way in...there are many reasons why you should not 'freak out', especially if you are a first offender. Relate the facts of your case to a lawyer and you may find answers that will ease your anxiety
