S-59 Tips for Young Advocates : Three Types of Murder Cases based on difficulties involved in getting acquittals.

Three Types of Murder Cases based on difficulties involved in getting acquittals.

Criminal Lawyers choose cases. They avoid taking very difficult cases by quoting a too high Fee.

1) Murder case involving many accused : Here, there is always chance to get acquittal for some of them who may have been falsely implicated by police under influence of Complainant and other relatives of deceased.

2) Murder case involving Solo Accused. Murder Cases where only one person is accused are hard for getting acquittal.

3) Socially Prejudiced Murder Cases are even harder for getting acquittal. Cases like Honour Killing, Bride Burning etc involve heavy social and judicial prejudices. These are truly hard cases.

A Lawyer who has specialised  in Criminal Law, will be usually slow to accept too difficult cases. He usually studies evidence thoroughly before accepting a case.
