What to do if You Were Caught On Tape
Posted on Nov 30, 2011 10:13am PST
If you have been accused of a crime and there is video surveillance footage of you leaving the scene of the crime or even of you committing the act itself, it may seem impossible to avoid conviction. However, even if you were allegedly caught on tape, there are ways that a Greenville criminal defense attorney may be able to challenge the validity of the footage.
Common crimes caught on tape include shoplifting, robbery and other types of misdemeanors, juvenile crimes or felony offenses. An experienced lawyer knows how to properly challenge the footage itself and to investigate every angle of your case. Was the picture on the video clear? Can you determine, without a shadow of a doubt, that it is the defendant on the video and not a look-alike? A criminal defense attorney may be able to help you file a motion to suppress this evidence, drastically improving your chances for a positive verdict. At the Burch Law Office, we are skilled at defending the legal rights of our clients and have a proven track record of providing excellent legal services for a number of legal issues.
