Manchester Sexual Assault Defense Attorneys
At Law Offices of Burch, Morrison, & Stewart, we thoroughly investigate the scene of the alleged rape, as well as the events leading up to the event in question to uncover new evidence, identify and interview eyewitnesses and gather information about the alleged victim. We often use private investigators to evaluate the alleged victim’s background and identify any motives he or she may have to make false allegations against you.
Juries do not always properly evaluate and weigh evidence. If the prosecution’s evidence is tainted, we fight to make that evidence inadmissible, to keep it out of court and away from juries. We also attack the credibility of the prosecution’s evidence to undermine its position and break apart its case.
