If someone accidently causes a fire, and someone dies, can the person be held criminally liable?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Lawrence Thomas Lewis (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Lawrence Lewis, P.C.
If someone starts a fire and someone dies, the person starting the fire can be arrested. Whether the jury returns a guilty verdict (criminal liability) or buys the accident defense is totally up to the skill of the trial attorney.

Is there a statute of limiations on evidence found through a search warrant?

Answered by attorney Christopher John McCann
Criminal Law lawyer at The Law Offices of Christopher J. McCann
Generally, the length of the statute of limitations depends on the nature of the crime that the evidence seized would tend to prove. So if the evidence recovered was evidence of theft, for example, the SOL to file charges would be equal to the longest possible sentence that one could serve for the crime of theft. Misdemeanors are always 1 year, because that is the maximum sentence. Murder has no SOL.

Can a police officer question a disabled person without their parents there?

Elmer Robert Keach
Answered by attorney Elmer Robert Keach (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Elmer Robert Keach, III, PC
No, not really.  Under Miranda and other Federal and State precedent, confessions taken from individuals have to be voluntarily, based on a knowing waiver of several rights, including the right against self-incrimination and the right to counsel.  If you were unable to understand the Miranda warning and/or unable to understand what was happening, that could lead to suppression of the statement you gave police.  When you get a lawyer to help you, you should immediately bring this to his attention.  If you are being charged with a felony, he can request a hearing based on this alleged confesssion to seek its suppression after you are indicted.  If you are charged with a misdemeanor, he can request such a hearing immediately.     The most potent, and the most abused, weapon in the prosecution's arsenal is the use of a confession.  Make sure your lawyer challenges your confession given the facts you have provided above.     Hope this helps.   Bob Keach
