Georgia Murder, Homicide, and Manslaughter

Friday, 09 August 2019 by Kara Lawrence

There are severe consequences for homicide, murder or manslaughter charges in Georgia. If you are charged with one of these violent crimes, you could be facing life imprisonment or possibly the death penalty. You need the legal representation of an experienced, skilled and aggressive Georgia attorney.  We are committed to protecting the rights of the accused in all types of Georgia criminal cases, including murder, homicide and manslaughter.

In Georgia, the term homicide encompasses all acts of the killing of another human. Murder and manslaughter are very serious homicide crimes. The state of Georgia does not have varying degrees of murder. In Georgia, there is only one degree of murder. Murder is committed when a person intentionally kills another, acts with depraved disregard for human life, or kills another person while committing a felonious crime.

11 Reasons Why You Should Never Talk To The Police When Arrested or Questioned (Part 3)

Saturday, 27 July 2019 by Kara Lawrence

5.  Even if you are innocent and only tell the truth and do not tell the police anything incriminating, there is still a grave chance that your answers can be used to crucify you if the police do not recall your testimony with 100% accuracy. Police officers do not always write every word down, yet they are then called upon to remember what someone said in a police interview. Months or years later, they are called upon to testify at trial where they are forced to remember precisely what you said. Mistakes can easily be made, and these mistakes can cost you the outcome of the trial, even though you were honest from the beginning.

Example: Neither the FBI nor GBI records their interviews. Many accused people have been interrogated by sheriffs and police investigators who have had their statements misconstrued. A GBI agent spent a great deal of time discussing with someone about the terrible things that would happen to them in prison. He also said all the ways he would help him if our he came forward. Then, that same GBI agent had him provide a written confession that was used to send him to prison.  Of course, the agent has not “recollection” of his offer to help the accused if he was honest. 

6.  Even if you are innocent and only tell the truth and do not tell the police anything incriminating and your statement is videotaped, your answers can be used to crucify you if the police do not recall the questions with 100% accuracy. If police officers do not remember 100% accurately the questions they asked, your answers could be made to look as untruthful, even if it was the truth. Police officers are human too and can make mistakes when testifying about the questions asked.

Example: This often happens when a suspect’s questioning was taken out of context. Many suspects have had their interviews videotaped.  Yet, the prosecutor, just like the news media, will selectively play parts of their interview to take the answers out of context, making the accused appear to in a bad light. Also, incriminating parts of interviews are properly recorded, yet the parts that would be likely to prove your innocent are sometimes mysteriously misplaced. Then, only the damaging parts get played in court.

What Constitutes an Acceptable Armed Robbery Defenses in Georgia

Tuesday, 09 July 2019 by Kara Lawrence

I didn’t take anything; I just wanted to scare them: If you did not take anything from the victim but instead just used a weapon to scare someone, then you will not guilty of robbery. However, you could still be guilty of assault or battery.

Lack of Intent: Armed robbery requires that the accused take the property with intent to commit theft. If you thought the property was yours or it was a misunderstanding, your actions may not satisfy the requirements of armed robbery. 

Self Defense: Another argument your Georgia Robbery Attorney could make is that you acted in self-defense. While you may have been attempting to take something, you only used a weapon when you began feeling threatened.

Innocence: If you have an alibi or witness testimony that you did not commit the crime, then your Attorney will have a chance of succeeding on an innocence claim.

The taking by force or intimidation was justified: To justify taking property by force of intimidation, the party taking must be the owner of the particular property taken or must be entitled to the possession of the property or lastly, believed in good faith that they were the owner of the property or entitled to the property. 

No weapon was used nor the appearance of a weapon: For the crime of robbery to have been committed, there must be evidence that a weapon or violence or the appearance of a weapon was used during the incident. Any evidence supporting that this was not true would be greatly beneficial. Even if you are still guilty of robbery, it is a lesser sentence than armed robbery.
