What to Do If You Are Under Investigation for Homicide
If you are under investigation for homicide, it is critical to act quickly to protect your rights. Here are some essential steps to follow:
1. Exercise Your Right to Remain Silent: Do not make any statements to law enforcement without an attorney present. Anything you say can be used against you, and even seemingly innocent comments can be misconstrued.
2. Request an Attorney Immediately: Contact an experienced criminal defense attorney like Josh Tomsheck as soon as possible. Legal representation is crucial during the early stages of an investigation to prevent self-incrimination and to ensure that your rights are protected.
3. Avoid Discussing the Case with Anyone: Do not discuss the details of the case with anyone other than your attorney. Conversations with family or friends can be subpoenaed and used as evidence in court.
4. Preserve Evidence: If you have any evidence that supports your case, such as witness contact information or surveillance footage, make sure to preserve it and provide it to your attorney.
Defending Justifiable Homicide Cases
Nevada law recognizes justifiable homicide under NRS 200.120 and NRS 200.160, which allow the use of deadly force in situations where it is necessary to protect oneself or others from immediate harm. Successfully defending a justifiable homicide case requires a deep understanding of these statutes, as well as the ability to present compelling evidence that supports the defendant's actions.
Josh Tomsheck has a proven track record in defending clients in justifiable homicide cases. He works diligently to gather all relevant evidence, including witness testimony, forensic analysis, and expert opinions, to demonstrate that his clients acted out of necessity.
