Charlotte Violent Crimes Lawyer
Charlotte, North Carolina, Attorneys Defending Violent Crimes
Investigators often suspect family members, friends, romantic partners, or co-workers in violent crimes. Working under the assumption that the violent nature of a murder, arson, rape, or kidnapping indicates some sort of an emotional attachment to the victim, investigators often look at those closest to the victim in the first stages of a violent crime investigation. Alternative leads, suspects and important evidence can be passed over in a rush to indict someone close to the victim.
Don't let the police rule out other suspects based on circumstantial evidence -- contact the criminal defense lawyers at Barnett & Falls today. Our consultations are completely confidential and protected by the attorney-client privilege.
Do not underestimate the value in remaining silent
Regardless of whether you've been arrested for murder, rape, or assault and battery, what you say to the police voluntarily can be used against you later at trial. Keep in mind the police may not tell you everything they know, including what evidence has been collected. If you try and convince investigators of your innocence, what you tell them may contradict what others have told them, making them even more convinced of your guilt. In most circumstances, your best option is to wait to make a statement until your attorney is present.
