Criminal Defence
Criminal defence investigation is a process that takes place in the United Kingdom when someone is accused of a crime and needs to defend themselves in court. In criminal defence investigations, a team of investigators, usually hired by the defendant's legal team, works to gather evidence and information that can help to prove the defendant's innocence or reduce the severity of the charges against them.
The investigation can involve a range of activities, such as interviewing witnesses, analysing physical evidence, reviewing police reports and other official documents, and conducting background checks on key individuals involved in the case.
The goal of the investigation is to build a strong defence case that can be presented in court and potentially lead to an acquittal or a more favourable plea bargain.
In the UK, the right to a fair trial is enshrined in law, and criminal defence investigations are an important part of ensuring that defendants are able to exercise that right.
The investigation process can be complex and time-consuming, but it is often crucial in securing a successful outcome for the defendant.
