Risks & Challenges in Homicide Cases
Facing a homicide charge presents challenges, including:
- High Stakes: A conviction could result in life imprisonment or, in some cases, even the death penalty in Texas.
- Evidentiary Complexities: Managing forensic evidence, eyewitness accounts, and technical aspects demands meticulous attention.
