The Independent Witness In A Seminole County Domestic Violence Case
The “independent witness” in a domestic violence case in Seminole County, Florida is usually not independent. To be considered an independent witness the person should not know any of the parties involved in the domestic violence incident and not have any reason to favor one person involved in the incident over another. The independent witness in a domestic violence incident is usually a third party who is a friend or family member of one of the people involved in the incident. If you think about it this makes perfect sense because most domestic violence incidents occur inside a home. Why would a stranger who does not know either person involved the domestic violence incident be inside their home at the time of the incident? An actual independent witness to a domestic violence incident is rare. Unfortunately, Seminole County law enforcement officers talk to these not independent witnesses that officers call independent witnesses all the time and often times rely heavily on them to determine which party to believe about what happened in the domestic violence incident and, consequently who is going to jail for a domestic violence charge or charges.
