CONT

In this light, the decision of defence counsel not to plead self-defence appears to us not only appropriate, but also strategically sound: first, because there is an inherent risk that advancing a weak defence will detract from a strong defence amply supported by the evidence.

  • Droit judiciaire
CONT

Dans ce contexte, la décision de l'avocat de la défense de ne pas plaider la légitime défense nous apparaît non seulement appropriée, mais également judicieuse au plan stratégique : d'abord parce qu'il existe un risque inhérent à invoquer un moyen de défense faible susceptible de porter atteinte à une défense solide amplement étayée par la preuve.
