Evidence doesn't lie
Client requested our assistance for a criminal defense case. Subject had a court appointed attorney and we were able to get the court to pay for the cost to hire our team. Subject was adamant that he did not have a gun and did not kill anyone. Our evidence found that the subject did have a gun. Once the evidence was gathered, our detective discussed the case with the court appointed attorney. When the subject was approached with all evidence he admitted having a gun. The attorney was able to utilize this for a guilty plea but prove the action was in self defense. Subject was sentenced to 15 years, however we believe with good behavior and time served he will be released within 5 years.

Our detects followed the trail of evidence which put him walking along the highway, midday, in a Texas summer, without water and dehydrated from being intoxicated the night before. Our detectives feared for the worst and believed he may have died of exhaustion out there.
