It Does Not Get More Serious than This!

A charge of first degree murder is not without defenses. Perhaps the police simply have the wrong person. It may also be argued that they committed the killing, but they were justified in doing so because of self-defense. A defendant may argue that they are not guilty of first degree murder because one or more of the elements of the crime was not met.

First degree murder is a VERY specific crime. These elements must be present –  

1. Another person must have been killed
2. There must be specific intent
3. The act was deliberate
4. It was done with premeditation

Is Judicial Release in your Loved One’s Future?

These days it is not so far-fetched. Maybe they have served long enough and are ready to move on. To apply for judicial release in the Buckeye State a motion must be filed. It is always better if you can go through a lawyer to file any motions with the criminal court in your particular jurisdiction in Ohio.

Here is one rule of thumb…those convicted of a crime that occurred in Ohio on or after June 30, 1996, may apply for judicial release if their prison sentence is for 10 years or less. Those serving sentences that include “mandatory time” may not be eligible for judicial release during the mandatory period.
