Alexis explains: "After jury instructions are read, then the final opportunity comes for attorneys to make final statements. Otherwise known as closing arguments. The district attorney will get up they make their closing argument and then we have our chance to make our closing argument. Since the presumption and the burden of proof is on the DA, they then get the chance to make what's called a rebuttal closing. This is where it's slightly unfair and frustrating for us because the DA gets the chance to talk again."

Alexis explains: "At that civil protection order hearing the judge said, that they were not going to grant the civil protection order to be made permanent because there was not sufficient evidence to substantiate that charge. Now, this is interesting for my client because the burden of proof in a civil protection order hearing is that the judge has to find by a preponderance of the evidence that the issues surrounding the need for the protection order, so usually it's a specific incident, and in this case it was a specific incident alleged, that this incident gave rise to the need for a permanent protection order to be granted."

Right Law Group's guide explains: "If you are navigating the legal system and facing criminal charges , you may find yourself overwhelmed by the process. There can be many steps involved, and each stage comes with its own expectations, rules, and responsibilities."

Alexis explains: "I went to court for the civil protection order hearing, and I showed the judge because the burden of proof is lower in a civil protection order hearing as to whether or not they grant that permanent order. I showed the judge all the ways this other person's story did not make sense. It didn't hold up. And I pointed out all the holes in their credibility and the flat out lies."

Right Law Group's guide explains: "If you’re facing allegations of attempted murder in Colorado Springs, every second matters. These vicious charges can steal your future in the blink of an eye without skilled defense attorneys battling for your rights."

Alexis explains: "Now, there are some situations where judges can legally dismiss a case, if the statute of limitations was violated, or a DA has failed to meet their burden of proving the case against you, for the Miss targett. Those are ways of the judge can dismiss the case. But generally speaking, you can't say have a domestic violence case where yourself didn't want to call the cop doesn't want to press charges, but the state is still coming at you."

Alexis explains: "the other thing to be aware of and this is the most dangerous and most scary portion of probation is you don't have the same rights when you're on probation as you do before you're sentenced so for example if the probation officer says well i don't think they're going to comply with probation i think they deserve jail time you don't get to go to trial it's just a revocation hearing and a revocation hearing burden of proof is much lower than trial it's in front of a judge and basically it's your word against probations"

Alexis explains: "They get to get up and rebut whatever we say. And it's because the burden of proof is on them. So just be aware, if you're sitting there with your attorney and then the DA gets to talk again, we don't get to talk again. We get one shot at the apple. But, as long as you have a good attorney, one shot is all you need."
