Sex Crime Trials

Experienced Criminal Defense Attorney Howard Snader

Perhaps no other criminal trial carries with it the stigma than does a trial for a sex crime against a child. Sex crime trials are won or lost most times before the trial begins. With motions to exclude evidence and depositions to determine the evidence in the case, a successful trial attorney is thorough from the minute you walk in the door until the appeals are completed.

Innocent Until Prove Guilty In a Court of Law

In all criminal trials, you are presumed innocent until proven guilty. The burden is on the state to prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The job of a criminal defense attorney  is to poke holes in the one element of the state's case. If at least one element is not proved beyond a reasonable doubt, you must be acquitted. There is a difference between being not guilty and innocent. All that needs to be proven is that you are not guilty.

Trials involving sex crimes against a minor are unlike any other case. No other cases hold the societal bias as do trials involving a sex crime. Often times the jury convicts the defendant before the trial begins. Selecting the right jury is crucial to your case. Howard Snader has over twenty years of trial experience to bring to your case.

Sex Crime Sentencing

Upon the unfortunate situation of your conviction for a sex crime against a minor, you face another proceeding to sentence you. Called a pre-sentence investigation, this investigation examines your criminal background, seriousness of the charge, your propensity to recommitment, and the likelihood of successful rehabilitation. We employ some of most credible experts to argue for the lightest sentence possible.
