Royal Oak Domestic Violence
44th District Court DV Lawyer

During a domestic violence trial in Michigan, the prosecutor will have the alleged victim testify about size difference between you and the alleged victim to establish the assault and if the two of you are now getting along/remained in contact in order to show the alleged victim is no longer testifying to what really happened. Here are some sample questions you might see during a DV trial in Michigan.  

Size Difference 
- How tall are you?
- You told the officer that you weighed only ____ ?
- How tall is the defendant?
- Approximately how much did he weigh on the day of the incident?
- So he is bigger than you are?
- And he is much stronger than you are? Even though he is smaller?
Status of Relationship with Defendant

- You testified you are now back with defendant?
- But you initially left him?
- Separated for how long?
- You took him back?
- Did he intimidate you to come back?
- Harass you to come back?
- Promise you he would change?
- Was that before or after he learned of the pending criminal case?
- Defendant called you from jail? When? How many times?
- Was he angry at you?
- Tell you to drop charges?
-Tell you to say that you started the fight? You hit him first?
- Threaten you with what would happen to you if you didn't help him?
- As you testify today, are you saying defendant sat in jail for something you now say he did not really do?
- And he never called you from jail?
- He never got angry at you?
- He never told you to get the police or prosecutor to drop "false" charges against him?
