When terrible crimes are alleged, the person being accused of those crimes needs to protect his or her rights and get legal counsel as soon as possible. We don’t say this to excuse the alleged actions, because they are very serious and need to be handled in a thorough and professional way. But even when someone is accused of heinous crimes, they are innocent until proven guilty. The way crimes are portrayed, it is easy to forget that.
Violent crimes often generate this feeling, because outsiders want to see someone who purportedly did something violent to be punished. So their mind immediately takes them to the conclusion they so desperately want: that the accused is guilty. But that is not the way our justice system functions, and it shouldn’t be the way that people view crime in general — let alone violent crimes.
When people are accused of a crime, they have a side of the story too. There are defense tactics that can be utilized by the accused and his or her attorney to address the case against them. In this regard, the Law Offices of Michael V. Cibella can help anyone accused of a violent crime.
