Scots Law Rape Defence
Summary
In Scots law, each criminal case is judged on its own merits, and previous allegations do not necessarily determine the outcome of a current case. The Moorov Doctrine allows for separate but similar charges to be mutually corroborative if they are similar in nature, occur within a short period, and appear to be part of a single course of conduct. For building a defence, its crucial to engage a solicitor experienced in criminal defence, gather evidence, challenge similarities, and present character witnesses. Free AI tools like Google Scholar and DoNotPay can assist with research and document generation, while low-cost tools like Zotero, Evernote, and Scrivener can help with document management and analysis.Full Conversation
