To assert an alibi defense means that you're not guilty of the charged crime because you were somewhere else at the time the alleged offenses. It is a powerful weapon for creating reasonable doubt and has the potential to be decisive in your case because it forces the prosecution not only to prove its case but to disprove (or at least create substantial doubt about) the alibi defense as well.
When considering the possibility of raising an alibi defense, the first thing you need to do is determine the time and physical locations of the charged offenses. Second, you need to establish where you were during the time period the charged offenses were committed and all of the people you were with during that time period. Third, you need alibi witnesses that came in contact with you during this time period, how long you were together, and your physical location while you were together. Fourth, you need to determine whether the testimony of the potential alibi witness, if believed, actually constitutes an alibi. Fifth, you need to evaluate the credibility of each of the potential alibi witnesses.
