[00:00:00]What separates a case that can be dismissed from one that's likely heading towards trial? So, the facts control almost every case in criminal jurisprudence. Because if you have good facts in terms of self-defense and stand-your-ground, your prosecutor's going to see it, they're going to help you work the case out. They don't want to go to court and lose, either. And in many instances, they may say, "Okay, I get it. Your client has self-defense, but he's got a small degree of culpability, and so we're going to resolve it and give him a lesser punishment."
