Defending Against Mistaken Identifications
Though a gross miscarriage of justice, mistaken identifications are unfortunately common. Eyewitness identifications are frequently relied upon as the cornerstone of a criminal case but are highly prone to error. A study conducted by the Innocence Project showed that mistaken identifications occurred in the overwhelming majority of wrongful convictions that were later overturned by post-conviction DNA testing, occurring in sixty-nine percent of the sample of wrongful convictions studied. Moreover, according to an article in the Syracuse University Law Review, New York has the most wrongful convictions due to mistaken identifications of any state in the country. This shows that erroneous identifications are a pervasive problem across the American justice system.
It's critical to work with a skilled and seasoned New York and New Jersey criminal defense attorney to challenge these mistaken identifications before they lead to a wrongful conviction. The experienced team at Brustein Law will fight aggressively, casting doubt on the accuracy of the identification and demonstrating to the judge and jury that there is reasonable doubt about your involvement in the alleged crime. We will meticulously investigate your case's circumstances, leveraging cutting-edge forensic technology, expert testimony, and an exhaustive examination of the facts to combat mistaken identification. Brustein Law doesn't believe in dead ends and will work with you every step of the way, exploring every option to present a strong defense.
The Importance of a Strong Alibi
A strong alibi is arguably the most effective component of a successful defense strategy. Suppose you were not present at the alleged crime scene and were implicated by a mistaken identification. In that case, it's imperative to establish that fact convincingly. The skilled criminal defense team at Brustein Law will work tirelessly to gather evidence, interview witnesses, and reconstruct the timeline of events to corroborate your alibi. We don't believe in dead ends. Whether by surveillance footage, electronic data, or witness testimony, we will explore every avenue to bring credibility to your truth.
