Examining All Options to Defend Your Rights
When you come to May McKinney for legal representation in the face of murder charges, our Nashville murder defense lawyers will examine all the options in defending your case. Some of them include:
- Identification Issues: We may dispute the evidence by which the police have linked you to the crime. Eyewitness accounts may be unreliable. Video surveillance or other evidence may have been obtained in violation of your rights. You may have an alibi. All evidence will be carefully scrutinized.
- Tool Mark Analysis: Also known as ballistics, this method for matching a cartridge to the gun it was ejected from is far from perfect. We work with respected experts who can explain why the results of this analysis are not credible.
- Overcharging: Prosecutors may charge suspects with first-degree murder when the facts do not support it. We are frequently successful in getting first-degree murder charges reduced to lesser crimes that are not punishable by the death penalty such as second-degree murder or manslaughter.
- Self-Defense or Defense of Others: If you were acting in defense of yourself or others, you should not face murder charges. We will consider whether this strategy applies in your case.
