How a Texas defense lawyer tests an autopsy or cause-of-death opinion: the records, Rules 702-705, Smith v. Arizona and independent pathologist review.
An alternative-suspect lead needs a verifiable connection to the charged offense. Learn how records, witnesses and the evidence rules guide a careful investigation.
Texas requires evidence beyond an accomplice witness’s testimony. Learn how corroboration, witness credibility and the State’s burden of proof differ.
Preserve original records, check times and locations, and test witness accounts. An alibi is evaluated against the charged conduct and the complete evidence.
Competency, insanity and mitigation address different questions and different stages of a case. A mental-health diagnosis alone does not decide any of them.
Accident is not a single answer to every murder allegation. The charged theory, its required mental state and the evidence about the conduct and result control the analysis.
