Thorough Investigation of Evidence and Aggressive Defense
Negligent, accidental or the intentional killing of another individual is categorized as homicide and is considered one of the most serious criminal offenses. The circumstances of the case, and whether the crime was intentional or unintentional, are factors that affect the level of the offense. However, the offender will most likely face jail time and felony charges. In Illinois, depending on the facts surrounding the crime, a death penalty can be imposed. If you are under investigation for the death of another, it is important to immediately acquire legal representation to ensure that you receive a fair trial and defense. James Stern is an experienced Belleville murder and homicide attorney who has represented individuals charged with homicide. Contact our office for more information on our death penalty defense.
