Myrtle Beach Murder Arrests
http://www.criminal-trial-lawyer.org/index.html Three individuals have been arrested for murder by the Myrtle Beach Police Department. The murder occurred during Bike Week and is said to have been related to a parking space dispute. A Coastal Carolina University student was killed in the incident. Myrtle Beach police have 911 calls that describe the incident. This type of murder is very uncommon for this area of the country. Fights and gun battles are not uncommon for the streets of Miami, but the streets of Myrtle Beach are usually safe from this type of conflict. The three defendants have not been indicted by the local solicitor on this case. There will most likely be an indictment in the coming weeks. The defendants could face the death penalty depending on what information investigators provide to the solicitor's office.
A first degree murder indictment will allow the solicitor's office to decide whether to seek the death penalty on one or all the defendants. Evidence of the murder will be centered eye witnesses and the 911 calls that were recorded. Having defended clients for murder in the past, I can assure you that time is of the essence in preparing a good defense. The primary defenses from the facts reported to date would be mistaken identity or self defense. Independent investigations are critical to either support or contradict the investigation of the police department. The solicitor's office will most likely try to get one of the defendants to testify against the others. This will increase the likelihood of a conviction. In the federal system this is called flipping a defendant. Federal cases are almost always based on "flipping or flips", whether they are witnesses or co-defendants.
