❌ Disqualified Cases: Lead Identified as the Aggressor

We cannot take leads where the lead was accused of being the aggressor, even if they claim otherwise. This includes situations where:

  •  The police arrived and determined the lead was responsible
  •  The lead was arrested for the incident
  •  The judge found the lead guilty of the assault

Even if the lead insists they were the victim, if the police and court ruled against them, the case does not qualify.


🚫 Example of a Lead We Cannot Take

A lead states that he was assaulted by his ex-girlfriend’s current boyfriend. However, when the police arrived, the ex-girlfriend told them that the lead was the aggressor. As a result:

The lead was arrested, and

Later, the judge found him guilty of the assault.

⚠️Since the legal outcome determined that the lead was responsible for the incident, this case cannot be taken.
