Criminal charges

alibi

An alibi is a form of evidence used to defend against a criminal charge by demonstrating that the accused was somewhere other than the scene of the crime when the crime was committed.

In Nebraska, as in other jurisdictions, an alibi is a defense strategy used in criminal proceedings where the accused aims to prove that they were in a different location at the time the alleged crime was committed, and therefore could not have been involved in the crime. The alibi defense is supported by evidence such as witness testimony, receipts, videos, electronic records, or any other documentation that can establish the accused's presence elsewhere. Nebraska follows the general rules of criminal procedure, which typically require the defendant to notify the prosecution of their intent to use an alibi defense within a specific time frame before the trial. This allows the prosecution to investigate the validity of the alibi claims. Failure to provide timely notice can result in the exclusion of the alibi evidence. It is important for anyone considering using an alibi defense in Nebraska to consult with an attorney to ensure that all procedural requirements are met and that the evidence is presented effectively.
