O.V.I.The prosecution in a criminal case bears a heavy burden of proving every element of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt to a unanimous jury. Unfortunately, they are strongly aided in this task by a built-in tendency of most jury members to side with the prosecution from the start; many people simply trust law enforcement and believe that the police would not have arrested a person who was not guilty in the first place. As you are probably aware, however, there are many reasons why this may not be so.

Attorney Exton uses every strategy and defense available to make sure you are never convicted when the evidence does not support a guilty verdict or where unconstitutional or improper police methods were used in the search, arrest or prosecution of the accused. |

false allegations
Remember that in many cases, law enforcement officials who arrest you may have no knowledge of your case.
They are merely arresting you pursuant to an arrest warrant or based on information given to them by others.
Assume that the arrest will take place and conduct yourself accordingly.
false allegations of Domestic violenceWhat to do if you are being investigated or facing arrest from criminal charges? If that unfortunate occurrence happens, the best advice is to be polite and courteous to the police officers. Do not resist.
Give only your name, address and other identifying information. Do not discuss the case with the arresting law enforcement officers and do not try to convince them of your innocence. When officers, agents or marshals arrest you, the arrest will almost always take place regardless of what you say. Anything you say to them will be written in an official police report and forwarded to the prosecutor for possible use against you. If you are being investigated, you may learn about it from friends, neighbors, co-workers, or by receipt of grand jury subpoena. As soon as you believe that you are being investigated, do not discuss the case with anyone other than a criminal defense attorney. Don’t discuss the matter with neighbors, co-workers or the marshals who serve you the subpoena. Try to get copies of any subpoenas or documents and immediately bring them to your criminal defense attorney. People whom you believe are friendly to you may be forced to be a witness against you. Therefore, anything you may have told them or tell them can be used as evidence against you. |
