At Ben Hall Law, our East Lansing criminal defense lawyers know that being arrested for a crime you did not commit can be an overwhelming experience. While your first thought may be that your innocence will set you free, the reality is that it may not actually be true.
One of the cardinal principles of the justice system that you are presumed innocent until proven guilty can be compromised in the court of public opinion. This is especially true when someone is accused of a sex crime or domestic violence. Once the accusation is made, whether it is true or not, its negative impact remains.
For this reason and others like getting lumped into a group of people who may have committed a crime because of your association with them, or having someone point the finger at you for a crime they committed it is vital to contact a skilled Michigan defense attorney immediately upon your arrest.
If someone is falsely accused of a crime, police often assume the accuser is telling the truth and arrest the alleged offender.
If you are innocent, you may believe you do not need an attorney. Investigators may even suggest that “innocent people don’t need attorneys.”
That is not true.
According to the Innocence Project, a conservative estimate shows about 20,000 people in U.S. prisons were convicted of crimes they did not commit.
