If you need a lawyer for a police interview, we will attend with you day or night and advise of your rights. In many cases, police interviews can be a significant part of your defence. It is crucial you receive the correct advice prior to and during any police interview. We can be there for you, anywhere in Scotland.
Murder is committed when the accused has killed someone with an intention to kill, or acted with ‘wicked recklessness’. Culpable homicide may be committed when the accused has caused loss of life through wrongful conduct, but there was no intention to kill or no ‘wicked recklessness’. The accused may have been provoked or their conduct may not have been so reckless to constitute ‘wicked recklessness’, but remember, accidents can happen and any accused must have the evil intention to commit a crime before being guilty.
