Criminal Defense

PIs can verify the credibility and reliability of witnesses:

• Background checks: Investigating the backgrounds of prosecution witnesses to uncover any criminal history, biases, or motives to lie.
• Witness interviews: Re-interviewing witnesses to uncover inconsistencies or additional information that may benefit the defense.

PIs can conduct their own analysis of the crime scene:

• Reconstructing the scene: Providing a different perspective or uncovering overlooked details that could challenge the prosecution’s narrative.
• Photographic and video evidence: Documenting the crime scene conditions, which can be used in court to support the defense’s arguments.

PIs can perform surveillance to gather information about the case:

• • Monitoring activities: Observing and documenting the activities of key individuals involved in the case, including witnesses and suspects.
  • Identifying new leads: Discovering new evidence or leads that law enforcement may have missed.

PIs can review and analyze the evidence collected by law enforcement:

• Finding inconsistencies: Identifying inconsistencies or gaps in the prosecution’s evidence.
• Expert consultation: Consulting with forensic experts to challenge the validity of the evidence presented by the prosecution.

PIs can find evidence that proves the defendant’s innocence:

• Alibi verification: Gathering evidence to confirm the defendant’s alibi during the time of the crime.
• Alternative suspects: Identifying and investigating potential alternative suspects who may have committed the crime.

PIs can testify in court to support the defense:

• • Expert testimony: Offering expert testimony on the evidence they have gathered and their investigative findings.
