Indiana Domestic Battery: Why “It Was Mutual” Doesn’t Help

Attorney Marc Lopez explains why saying “it was mutual” does not protect you in a domestic battery case. At the Marc Lopez Law Firm, we regularly see how statements like this impact criminal charges in Indiana. Police are trained to identify a primary aggressor, not assign equal blame. Admitting mutual involvement can still be treated as admitting physical contact. Attorney Marc Lopez explains how those statements often appear in police reports and later in court. Many people believe sharing responsibility will reduce consequences. In reality, it often strengthens the case against them. Understanding how these situations are interpreted is critical.

If you’ve been charged with a crime in Indiana, call the Marc Lopez Law Firm at 317-632-3642.
