Homicide is the most serious offence in Canadian criminal law, with life imprisonment being imposed upon conviction. The defence process is long and complex. It requires continued focus and commitment on the part of the defence counsel.
Sometimes the success of the defence hinges on technical details. Experts are retained to contradict the evidence of those of the prosecution. Defence evidence is presented to prove innocence or to raise a reasonable doubt that results in acquittal or conviction for lesser offence.
It is essential that you seek the right defence lawyer to embark on such a protracted proceeding. Call Ralph to find out how he can help.
