The High Stakes of a Violent Crime Accusation

In Canonsburg, an accusation of a violent crime can have long-lasting and far-reaching consequences. Violent crimes, such as aggravated assault, robbery, and homicide, are offenses that Pennsylvania law punishes with decades in prison, tens of thousands of dollars in fines, and the loss of fundamental civil rights such as the right to own or possess firearms.

Even without a conviction, an accusation of a violent crime can tarnish a person’s career, relationships, and community standing. Felony convictions also make it harder to find housing, gainful employment, and professional licensing, often for life. Violent crime cases in Washington County are prosecuted at the Washington County Courthouse. Defendants must not face these charges without strong legal representation.

Investigating the Evidence Thoroughly

Cases involving violent crime in Canonsburg can include complex and sometimes all forms of evidence. Eyewitness testimony, forensics testing, ballistics reports, and surveillance video can all be parts of the evidence puzzle. Each of these types of evidence has its own challenges. Eyewitnesses can make mistakes identifying suspects. Forensic evidence may be improperly handled or tested.

Video or digital evidence may be incomplete, manipulated, or simply misinterpreted. The results of ballistic and DNA testing, while more scientific, are not foolproof and can be challenged when testing protocols have not been strictly followed. The rate of violent crime in Washington County is about 2.008 per 1,000 residents, and for that reason, violent cases are aggressively prosecuted, and the evidence is carefully scrutinized at trial.
