Tennessee Murder, Homicide Violent crime Criminal Defense Lawyer

Violent Crime

Violent crimes can result in very serious convictions and punishment, and require an aggressive defense by a skilled violent crime defense attorney. The most prevalent violent crimes are simple assault and battery, assault with a deadly weapon, carjacking, kidnapping, manslaughter and murder.

The seriousness of a violent crime obviously depends on the severity of the injury or injuries to the alleged victims.

Murder / Homicide is the most severe of all violent crimes. Homicide is defined as an act or failure to act which results in the death of another human being.

Homicide can be charged as an intentional killing such as murder or manslaughter or as a negligent killing such as involuntary manslaughter. Obviously, murder and manslaughter are the most serious homicides, possibly resulting in long prison terms, life imprisonment or, even, a death sentence. Involuntary manslaughter also can result in a long prison sentence.

Assault with a deadly weapon, serious spousal abuse, carjacking, kidnapping, robbery, sex crimes such as rape and child molestation and child abuse can result in long prison sentences, depending on a number of factors such as the seriousness of the injuries to the victims, whether or not guns or other weapons were used, and whether or not the alleged perpetrator has a criminal record.

If you are charged with a violent crime in Tennessee, you must immediately contact experienced criminal defense lawyer who has experience with defending violent crimes.

An experienced criminal attorney will almost always immediately conduct an investigation using the services of an experienced professional investigator. Getting to potentially important defense witnesses before law enforcement or prosecutors investigators will generally make or break your defense.

Witnesses have a way of being intimidated by police and DA investigators to side with the prosecution. As a result, it is absolutely crucial to get statements from these witnesses before the prosecution corrupts them.

An effective investigation can more often than not result in locating a crucial alibi witness, or establishing that possible eyewitness identification has deadly weaknesses, or that an individual acted in self-defense.

With a good investigation, your criminal defense attorney can prepare your case for trial from a position of strength and confidence rather than weakness and uncertainty.
