Messenger Legal protection in cases of crimes against life and health
Crimes against life and health constitute a rather extensive section of the Criminal Code. In particular, the following are considered such crimes:
- murder (intentional);
- causing someone to commit suicide;
- murder committed in a state of affect (in the heat of passion);
- causing bodily harm (severe, moderate and minor);
- causing death by negligence;
- battery (torture);
- killing of a newborn child committed by the mother.
Unfortunately, the above types of crimes are the most common. Murders and the infliction of harm to health usually occur under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Despite the severity of such acts, a suspect or accused person has the right to a defender. The lawyers of our firm are true professionals who are well versed in such cases. Defense in cases of crimes against life and health involves determining the motives and circumstances of the crime; it is also essential to establish the method and purpose of causing bodily injuries or the victim’s death.
If a person indeed committed a serious crime, it is unlikely they will completely avoid punishment. However, significantly mitigating it or obtaining a suspended sentence is quite possible. Only a qualified lawyer knows all the effective mechanisms that can help reduce the term of punishment, change the preventive measure before sentencing, and, if necessary, slightly delay the trial.
The severity of the punishment is greatly influenced by the degree of guilt, the psychological and physical state of the offender (for example, whether the defendant was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or in a state of affect). In addition, if a citizen committed a criminal offense for the first time, their punishment will, as a rule, be somewhat mitigated.
Of course, it may also happen that you are not guilty of the act (you became a victim of circumstances, or you were unjustly slandered). In that case you will also need a lawyer. Our specialists are ready to provide defense for clients regardless of their degree of guilt and personal qualities.
