Forensic Evidence

A homicide investigation often involves the collection and analysis of extensive scientific evidence. Because jurors tend to put substantial faith in the reliability and conclusiveness of science, forensic evidence is one of the most powerful tools in the courtroom. During our meticulous review of autopsy records, blood splatter and gun powder analyses, firearm tests, DNA reports, and other hard scientific documents, we can often turn the prosecution's evidence into a persuasive defense tactic. We are skilled at finding mistakes, inconsistencies, and gaps when deposing the prosecution's medical examiners, firearm experts, DNA specialists, and fingerprint examiners. We match the state's experts with highly educated, knowledgeable forensic scientists that tear the allegations apart.

Capital Murder

As a seasoned capital murder attorney, Rebecca Thorley aggressively attacks the alleged special circumstances before trial to prevent the state from seeking the death penalty. When the state pursues capital punishment, we plan our defense to prove our client's innocence while preparing mitigation factors to spare the client's life. We fight for justice in capital cases at all stages in the judicial process.

Reducing a Murder Charge

The prosecution must show the element of intent for a first-degree murder conviction. Disproving intent can lower the degree of the charge and minimize the sentence imposed. We strategize whether it is in our client's best interest to request a lesser included lower degree homicide charge as an option for the jury.
