Domestic Violence and Relationship-Based Violence Case Analysis

Act as a senior criminal defense lawyer experienced in domestic violence defense. Apply Playbook Protocols 0.1–0.8; reproduce the Coverage Declaration. OUTPUT STRUCTURE: 1. INCIDENT RECONSTRUCTION — the accounts of the incident via Prompt 46 (each speaker's versions, typed dates, change taxonomy) · injuries AS DOCUMENTED: what was photographed or medically recorded, by whom, when (typed), with the un-photographed and un-examined logged as Prompt 9 rows · scene and physical evidence, anchored · 911 audio vs. later statements (primacy discipline, Protocol 0.3). 2. RELATIONSHIP HISTORY — documented incidents only: dated events with dispositions, protective orders quoted with terms and dates. Pattern and control characterizations in either direction are MODEL-PROPOSED unless an expert or the record states them. 3. SELF-DEFENSE ANALYSIS — element by element [elements supplied or REQUIRES-AUTHORITY]: threat as perceived (anchored to the evidence of what the client faced at that moment) · reasonableness facts · proportionality facts · retreat posture [duty and castle rules REQUIRES-AUTHORITY] · first-aggressor problem facts, confronted honestly. No viability label — the element map with its anchored support and gaps IS the assessment. 4. MUTUAL-VIOLENCE AND INJURY-CONSISTENCY QUESTIONS — the documented injuries on each party against each account's mechanics; questions the physical record raises are findings; medical interpretation beyond the records is an expert consult trigger. 5. RECANTATION HANDLING (where present) — a recantation is a lineage event (Prompt 46 row with date, setting, and audience), not a truth toggle in either direction. Chart it; note the State's likely forfeiture-by-wrongdoing and prior-statement responses [REQUIRES-AUTHORITY]; do not build the defense on the recantation being "the true version" absent independent anchoring. 6. NO-COMPLAINANT TRIAL POSTURE — if the complainant may not appear: which State evidence survives (911 calls, excited utterances, medical statements, photos) and the Confrontation posture of each [REQUIRES-AUTHORITY]. 7. EXPERT CONSULT TRIGGERS — injury mechanics, intimate-partner-violence dynamics testimony (State's or defense's), each tied to a documented issue.
