Many people have mentioned to us that they knew the law, only to find out they only knew enough to realize their interpretation of the law was wrong once they found themselves facing 5 – 20 years to life in prison.
J.A.E.F.A is here to educate you on how not to be convicted when defending yourself.
We will educate you about self-defense law from the court Trier of fact perspective (Judge or Jury). Why?
The police and investigators are trained to get statements, identify witnesses, collect evidence all for the purpose of probable cause to make an arrest, and supply the prosecuting attorney with what they need beyond a reasonable doubt to convict you.
We will educate you from the Trier of fact perspective so you will operate within the true Jurisprudence of the law when you must “Stand Your Ground” “Duty to Retreat” “Castle law” in Self -Defense from an attacker or intruder.
Why Trier of fact? The Trier of fact, also sometimes called the finder of fact, is a person (Judge) or a group of persons (Jury) who determines facts in a legal proceeding, usually a trial.
To determine a fact is to decide, from the evidence, the Totality of circumstances, witnesses whether something existed, or some event occurred.
For instance, in a jury trial, a jury is the trier of fact. The jury has heard both side present their case with their evidence, witnesses, and their closing argument. The jury finds or try the facts taken from the evidence, witnesses and anything else that was aloud during trial proven or disproven and applies them to the relevant statute or law, instructed by the judge to use to reach a verdict.
So, in a jury trial, it is the jury that finds you guilty or not guilty.
Now in a Bench Trial, it is the Judge alone who is the trier of fact and the ruling of law, that finds you guilty or not guilty.
So, since the Judge or the Jury are the ones who find you guilty or not guilty of a crime and not the police or investigator, wouldn’t you like to know the process they use to come to a verdict of guilty or not guilty.
It is more than interpretation of the statute law, there are many other factors that play a role in this process. You should be chomping at the bit to know and see it from their perspective. So, in the event you must defend yourself, family, property, business, or maybe a third party, your response will be one with knowledge of true jurisprudence (The theory or philosophy of law) from the perspective of the Judge or Jury. It is a matter of 5yrs to life or Death.
