According to the King County Prosecutor’s Office: “Assault cases will be filed if sufficient admissible evidence exists that, when considered with the most plausible, reasonably foreseeable defense that could be raised under the evidence, would justify conviction by a reasonable and objective fact-finder.” Interestingly, the Prosecutor’s Office filing and disposition standards say that “Prosecution should not be declined because of an affirmative defense unless the affirmative defense is of such a nature that, if established, it would result in complete freedom for the accused and there is no substantial evidence to refute the affirmative defense.”
If you have an affirmative defense, or even if you don’t, Miller Law Group LLC can help!
