A criminal defence is a term used when a person defends themselves against a criminal charge. If the person is disputing that they have committed the offence then their legal representative/lawyers will provide evidence that they have not committed the offence. Alternatively, if the person is not disputing that they committed the offence then a criminal defence will need to be provided which explains why they committed the offence and under what circumstances.
The magistrate will consider the evidence provided by both the prosecution and defence along with any evidence provided by the police. Typically, prosecution and police will work together to ensure the person holds a conviction for their crime. A criminal defence will always try to rebut the evidence which is relied on by the prosecutor and seeks to essentially poke holes in their story so that their evidence is not credible.
