Criminal Defense Investigations
Arcane's Private Investigators are relentless in determining the factual basis of criminal defense investigations to expertly and diligently assist and support the defense effort.
In Criminal Defense Investigations, the stakes are high; make sure you give your client the best investigation possible!
For defendants, a diligently calculated and appropriately executed Criminal Defense Investigation affords a potentially favorable outcome. Optimally, the investigation reveals proof the defendant is innocent of the state’s charges. To a lesser extent yet critically important is the discovery of relevant and decisive evidence that potentially creates reasonable doubt in the minds of judges or jurors as to the guilt of the defendant. Or, evidence may establish the defendant’s guilt at a lesser degree than charged or result in a lesser sentence. Criminal Defense Investigation could also determine if the defendant’s constitutional rights were violated.
Our investigators are well-informed of and experienced in police procedures, personal interview techniques, and the need for an immediate and tenacious response to cases.
Investigations must be initiated as soon as possible after the defendant is charged in criminal court or in some cases, when charges are anticipated. This is due to a number of key factors: a witness’s ability to accurately recall the facts diminishes; physical evidence may be lost or destroyed; and the physical situation of the crime scene changes almost immediately after an event occurs. This is true of the sites of geographically separated yet critical events as well.
The factual basis and the strength of the prosecution’s case will generally dictate the theory of defense. Due process of law, the defendant’s innocence, and/or the violation of constitutional rights are generally the focus of the defense.
After meeting with attorneys, our Private Investigators establish an investigative strategy and tailor their efforts in conjunction with the working theory for defense.
