Criminal Defense Investigations
In
criminal defense cases sometimes the defense attorney is going to
realize that key evidence is missing or some witnesses have not come
forward: the defense attorneys are going to find a basis for reasonable
doubt. In order to know that their assumptions about their client's
innocence are correct, they will need to conduct a criminal defense
investigation. Arkus, Inc. serves an important role in a criminal
defense investigation. In this case, that role is to find witnesses and
evidence that will show the jury that there is reason to believe that
the defendant is not actually responsible for committing the crime. When
an attorney uses Arkus, Inc. in a criminal defense investigation, our
investigators will take the time to understand the charges and the laws
that relate to the crime. Once there's an understanding of the case in
question, our investigators will go over all of the materials that the
defense team has received from the prosecutor. During the course of the
criminal defense investigation, Arkus, Inc. will go through routine
reports from the police, everyday paperwork as well as copies of
evidence, photographs, phone messages and witness statements related to
the case. The goal is to determine whether or not there are any
inconsistencies from one witness account to the next or between the conclusions
drawn and the evidence obtained.
Arkus, Inc. will also interview witnesses to see if their stories have
changed or to verify that they do not have anything else that motivated
their statements against the defendant. Inconsistencies and ulterior
motives that Arkus discovers during the course of a criminal defense
investigation may be used as a part of the client's defense. If during
the course of the criminal defense investigation our investigator
discovers that there are other witnesses who had not come forward or
evidence that was not considered previously, he can then look
into these developments further. During the course of a criminal defense
investigation, a private investigator can help to ensure that an
innocent client will not be found guilty.
