It's the kind of crime that doesn't just show up on the back page of the local paper. The murder of a South Jersey detective is going to make the news. Public officials are going to make passionate statements about the victims and what their loss means to the community. The investigation into events is going to leave no stone unturned, the prosecution of the case is going to be zealous, and punishments are going to be harsh.
In a case like this, a local attorney's not going to do. You need the highest caliber criminal defense attorney you can find, someone with experience handling high-profile cases. You need someone from the Lento Law Firm's Criminal Defense Team.
If you're facing serious criminal charges, you can't afford to wait. Call the Lento Law Firm today at 888.535.3686, or take time now to tell us about your situation.
You Have Rights, No Matter the Charges
The more high-profile a crime, the more likely the criminal justice system is to make assumptions about the accused. Public sentiment runs high, and officials feel pressure to get results. This is when you need the very best legal representation, someone skilled at protecting your rights when they're under threat.
Criminal investigations are never as simple as the news makes them seem. That's particularly true when it comes to murder cases. To start with, just because you've been accused of a crime doesn't mean you're guilty. But even if you were involved in an offense, the circumstances of that offense can be complex. In the case of this Jersey City detective, for example, police insist the home invaders fired first, but nothing in this news story proves that fact. We have no sense of the relationship between the victim and the accused. We don't know how events unfolded. We don't know the motive behind the crime. We don't know the state of mind of the person or persons who committed it. Virtually all of the context of events is missing, which means it's easy for someone watching to jump to conclusions. When the general public jumps to conclusions, it's bad enough. When the judicial system jumps to conclusions, it undermines the possibility of justice.
The fact is, you have the right to due process in New Jersey—a fair investigation, a fair trial if necessary, and a fair resolution, no matter the charges. You deserve a presumption of innocence. You deserve the chance to refute the evidence against you. You deserve the opportunity to confront your accusers. You deserve justice. The nature of the allegations should never affect your rights to that justice. The Lento Law Firm is here to make sure they don't.
