Homicide / Death Penalty
Scranton, Pennsylvania Homicide Defense LawyerIf you have been arrested and charged with felony homicide, you need an attorney who has experience trying murder and death penalty cases. At the law office of Dennis J. Mark, Esquire, in Scranton, Pennsylvania, I have advocated for my clients facing murder charges by diligently defending their rights. First degree murder requires proof of malice and premeditation. Second and third degree murder charges are lesser offenses and are more technical in nature. Many times, a homicide charge is categorized as involuntary manslaughter because the death resulted from negligence or the use of alcohol. A car can be a weapon if you are impaired by alcohol or driving recklessly and cause another's death. A charge of vehicular homicide will not be the end of your legal problems, as you could also be charged with DUI, reckless driving, or fleeing or eluding police, depending on the situation. At the law office of Dennis J. Mark, Esquire, I have defended clients who killed another pursuant to a crime of passion. They may not have been capable of killing another person under ordinary circumstances, but in the heat of the moment they took a life. While not a premeditated or malicious act, there are still severe ramifications to such a crime, and an experienced homicide defense attorney can make a big difference in the ultimate sentence handed down. A murder charge could result in a death sentence. With so much on the line, your attorney must be experienced in trying death penalty cases and speaking before judges and juries in that arena. I have that experience and will defend you and advocate vigorously for your rights. There is too much at stake not to have a dedicated homicide defense advocate on your side. It could mean the difference between a prison sentence and death. Contact a Scranton criminal defense law firm for a free consultation if you have been charged with homicide. Evening and weekend appointments available I make house calls. |
