Murder and Manslaughter

Lawyers at Lexis Solicitors have significant experience of defending people charged with murder and Manslaughter. These cases can vary greatly, from a ‘one on one’ fight where tragically the victim dies, to an organised gangland execution, or a group incident where all participants are charged as part of a joint enterprise.
Lawyers at Lexis Solicitors have dealt with many types of murder cases. Some murder cases end up as manslaughter, other cases are charged as manslaughter.  At Lexis Solicitors we undertake a thorough analysis of the evidence and consider all issues pertinent to each case. Remember it is for the prosecution to prove the case. The types of evidence relied on will vary in complexity depending on the type of case.
Where there are eye-witnesses to the incident they will invariably be interviewed and where possible relied on by the prosecution. Additionally the prosecution may obtain CCTV, telephone records, cell site analysis, ANPR evidence of vehicle movement, or forensic evidence in the form of DNA, fingerprints, or gunpowder residue. It may be necessary for us to instruct an approved expert in one of the above fields in order to comment on, check and sometimes challenge the prosecution’s assertions.
