Defense Against First-Degree And Second-Degree Murder Charges In The State Of Illinois
To prove that a defendant committed first-degree murder, the prosecutor has to prove that a defendant intended to kill or cause great bodily harm to the victim.
A criminal defense attorney may raise a number of defenses against a first-degree murder charge, including but not limited to:
- No proof of intent
- Mental illness or insanity
- Intoxication
- Unreliable witness testimony
- Mistaken identity
- Faulty evidence
- Police misconduct
If a first-degree murder charge is reduced or dismissed due to mitigating circumstances, such as acting in a moment of intense passion after being provoked by the victim, the defendant may still face a second-degree murder charge. Whatever your situation may be, contact Wolf Criminal Law today to discuss your options in a free and confidential consultation.
