Criminal defense is a strategic legal argument aimed at challenging the validity and sufficiency of the evidence and claims presented by the prosecution. Often referred to as the state, the people, or the United States for federal crimes, the prosecution is the party trying to prove the criminal charges against a defendant. The prosecution must prove the crime beyond a reasonable doubt.

A defendant may argue that there are holes in the prosecution’s case, that evidence was gathered in violation of the defendant’s constitutional rights, that another individual committed the crime, that the defendant had a justifiable reason for committing the crime, that the defendant lacked the intent to commit the crime, or that that defendant had a mental incapacity which caused him or her to commit the crime.

Common types of criminal defenses include:

• Innocence
• Constitutional Violations
• Alibi
• Insanity
• Self-Defense
• Defense of Others
• Defense of Property
• Involuntary Intoxication
• Voluntary Intoxication
• Mistake of Law / Mistake of Fact
• Duress or Coercion
• Abandonment / Withdrawal
• Necessity
• Consent
• Entrapment
• Age Affecting Criminal Responsibility
• Statute of Limitations
