Murder and Manslaughter Charges in Morris County
If someone you love is facing homicide charges, you don't need to be told how serious the matter is. You are probably highly aware that a conviction can be life-changing and even a well-negotiated plea deal can mean years behind bars.
At the Law Office of Sara Sencer McArdle, LLC, we take these matters just as seriously as you do. We know what is at stake. Our tremendous respect for our clients drives us to aggressively pursue strong criminal defenses in homicide cases.
Expert Opinions Can Make or Break a Homicide Defense
Verdicts in homicide cases often come down to expert testimony. To be successful, we work with a broad spectrum of highly regarded experts, including forensic pathologists, accident re-constructionists and engineers, as well as other experts.
These experts review the evidence. They may visit the scene of a fatal car accident, calculate the angles of a ricocheting bullet or trace blood evidence. Then they give their professional opinions in testimony before judges and juries.
Often, expert testimony for the defense differs significantly from the prosecution's expert testimony and evidence. Listening to the testimony, jurors begin to doubt what they once had believed was an ironclad case against a "murderer."
Doubt is key to winning your homicide case. In New Jersey homicide cases, like other cases in the American legal system, prosecutors must prove every element of a crime beyond a reasonable doubt. This is a very high standard of proof. It means that just one questionable fact can lead to a not guilty verdict.
At the Randolph, New Jersey, Law Office of Sara Sencer McArdle, LLC, we combine the work of experienced attorneys who literally spend hundreds of hours reviewing every detail of homicide cases. We implement strategies based on our detailed analysis as former prosecutors. Because we know what strategies work, because we know the players on both sides of cases, we have established a record of success in New Jersey homicide cases. We can also negotiate reasonable and fair plea agreements in cases that are not likely to resolve favorably at trial.
