The United States Constitution guarantees every criminal defendant a criminal attorney. Crimes are classified into one of two categories. The more serious crime, such as murder or rape, is considered a felony. Felonies are usually punishable by imprisonment of a year or more. The other type of a criminal offense is a misdemeanor, such as petty theft. This type of crime is less serious and is punishable by less than a year in county jail.
For a criminal conviction in California, prosecutors must prove each and every element of the crime to gain a conviction. In addition, a prosecutor must persuade the judge or jury “beyond a reasonable doubt” of every fact necessary to constitute the criminal offense.
Our criminal justice system can be overwhelming and at times frightening. The incarceration rate in the United States is much higher than that of other industrialized countries. Prison sentences are getting longer and more frequent. If you face the possibility of being accused of a crime, contact a criminal defense lawyer as early in the process as possible, preferably even before questioning or investigation by the police. A criminal attorney can fight for your legal and constitutional rights.
A person who is convicted of a crime in general faces societal stigmas and potentially irreparable damage to his or her reputation. It is almost always unwise to represent yourself. Retain the services of a seasoned and experienced criminal defense attorney.
