Boston, MA criminal defense attorney J. W. Carney Jr. talks about the biggest challenges faced in handling violent crime cases. He points out that the greatest challenge in handling murder and manslaughter cases lies in the fact that these are the types of crimes to which the District Attorney’s office dedicates significant resources. He and his team often conduct investigations that surpass the scope of the initial police inquiry. They file numerous motions to ensure that evidence is presented in the most effective manner for the client. Additionally, they work closely with the client to determine whether testifying is appropriate, often employing mock trials to refine case strategy and demonstrate how cross-examination may unfold. Through this comprehensive approach, they develop the strongest possible defense for clients facing these serious charges.
