We can offer detailed knowledge of these complex offences and the various opportunities to avoid charges, see charges dropped or secure the minimum penalties where conviction is unavoidable.
The Offence of Murder
For a person to be convicted of murder, the prosecution must prove beyond reasonable doubt that a person of sound mind unlawfully killed another person, under the Queens Peace and at the time had the intention to kill or cause grievous bodily harm.
Remand
A Defendant charged with murder is likely to be remanded in custody therefore, it will usually be family members that are making the necessary enquiries on their behalf to source and secure expert legal representation.
Attempted Murder
When there is an attack which is very serious and the victim has survived, the suspect will not be charged with murder, instead a more appropriate charge would be one of ‘attempted murder’.
For a person to be convicted of attempted murder, the prosecution must prove beyond reasonable doubt that there must be an intention to kill and must have done something to demonstrate the intention to kill.
Self Defence
Self-defence in a prosecution for murder is potentially capable of amounting to a defence if reasonable in the circumstances. Whether the force used was reasonable in the circumstances is assessed by determining if the defendant believed it to be reasonable.
