Assault Defense Legal Guidance
Summary
Assault is a criminal offense in the Maldives, with penalties including fines and imprisonment. Self-defense may be a valid defense if you were not the aggressor. If charges are pressed, its crucial to seek legal representation, attend court hearings, and gather evidence supporting your claim. Police investigations typically involve witness questioning and evidence collection. If you cannot afford an attorney, explore legal aid options or request a court-appointed lawyer. Camera footage and eyewitness testimonies are common evidence sources, but alone may not suffice for conviction. Avoid tampering with evidence, as it can lead to additional charges. Consider consulting a local attorney for personalized guidance and to protect your legal rights.Full Conversation
