When criminal defense lawyers are faced with a difficult case, it isn’t uncommon for them to turn to a private investigator for help. There are several ways they can assist these types of cases. Lawyers are finding that they almost can’t afford not to hire a private investigator to help. Advanced Private Investigator & Security of Miami, FL is here to talk about some of the different ways that private investigators can work with criminal defense lawyers to get the results they are looking for.
Sorting Through Evidence
Sometimes, making sense of the piles and piles of evidence that is involved in the case you’re working on can be a full time job. There are some instances where the evidence isn’t what it seems to be either. A private investigator will go through all of that evidence and make sure it is all relevant to the case. They will also help shed some light on the actual facts that are linked to the evidence like specific dates and other pertinent information.
Validate or Discredit Witness Statements
Witness statements are a large part of a criminal defense case as well. They can make or break a case. This is especially true if the statements are constantly changing and morphing into something different every time that witness is interviewed. The private investigator isn’t only going to look at the statements that were made in the past, but they will also meet with and talk to the witnesses as well to make sure they are keeping their story straight. This is where they can determine whether or not information given by witnesses is valid or not.
Help Review Police Reports
Most people can’t look at a police statement and make heads or tails of any of the information that is found there. While some lawyers may have experience reading and reviewing police reports, there are certainly some that don’t completely understand them. Many private investigators worked as law enforcement in the past or have some experience in dealing with law enforcement. This makes them a valuable asset when it comes to reviewing police reports and understanding what they say.
Authenticate Photo & Audio Evidence
It is quite easy to take a photo or an audio clip and twist it to look like something that it actually isn’t. With the training that a private investigator has, they are often able to take a closer look at the clip or the photo and see if they are what they are being portrayed as.
