We will also request any and all discovery from the Prosecutor, including videos, photographs, emails, writings, lab reports, witness statements, etc. Our firm has also utilized the services of a private investigator, if necessary, in effort to obtain/preserve evidence that may help in your defense. Remember, in any criminal case, the burden of proof is beyond a reasonable doubt, wherein the Municipal Court Prosecutor must prove each, and every element of each offense charged beyond a reasonable doubt before a Municipal Court Judge.
