Because jurors tend to put substantial faith in the reliability and conclusiveness of science, forensic evidence is one of the most powerful tools in the courtroom. During meticulous reviews of autopsy records, blood splatter and gun powder analyses, firearm tests, DNA reports and other hard scientific documents, we can often turn the prosecution\u2019s evidence into a persuasive defense tactic. We are skilled at finding mistakes, inconsistencies and gaps when deposing the prosecution\u2019s medical examiners, firearm experts, DNA specialists and fingerprint examiners. We match the state\u2019s experts with highly educated, knowledgeable forensic scientists that tear the allegations apart.<\/p>\n<div class=\"headline\">\n<h2>Reducing a murder charge<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p>The prosecution must show the element of intent for a first-degree murder conviction. Disproving intent can lower the degree of the charge and minimize the sentence imposed. We strategize whether it is in our client\u2019s best interest to request a lesser included lower degree homicide charge as an option for the jury.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HOMICIDE Have you been accused of a Homicide?
