Facing a murder or manslaughter charge is life-altering and can affect not only your future, but your reputation as well. The consequences for such a serious charge can be terrifying, but it is important to remember that even the most daunting charges can be reduced or even dismissed.
Just because you are charged with a crime, doesn’t mean you will be convicted. There might be a lot of discrimination toward you during this time, but at Tracey Wood and Associates, we believe that your side of the story matters and deserves to be told.
When facing a serious criminal offense, fighting back is your only option. You must fight and prepare for your case if you expect a successful outcome. The best way to prepare, besides working with an experienced attorney, is by learning more about possible defenses. Here are some common defenses that could be used in a murder or manslaughter case:
Case: A client was charged with first degree intentional homicide. If convicted, the client faced mandatory imprisonment. Our attorneys petitioned for a lesser charge and the client was acquitted.
Result: Not guilty verdict
Case: A client was charged with two counts of homicide by intoxicated use of a motor vehicle. Our attorneys were able to prove that the accident would have happened even if the client had not been drinking.
Result: Charges dismissed
Case: A client was charged with a hit and run homicide. Our attorneys worked to achieve a not guilty verdict in a jury trial.
Result: Not guilty verdict
