Police-Involved Shooting Cases
Sunday, October 25, 2009
All too often, the truth behind police-involved shooting incidents gets clouded by public perception and biased media accounts. It is human nature to be skeptical of authority, and to many people law enforcement exemplifies what they fear most about authority. But the truth is that police shootings are almost always the result of a split-second decision made by a police officer who, in an instant, perceives that his or her life is in danger.
At Knox & Associates, we strive to show the jury exactly what really happened in the few seconds during which a shooting takes place. We paint the picture. Where were the officers standing? What could they see? Why did they perceive a threat? Why did they fire so many shots? All of these questions have answers, and it is our job to find those answers and to present them in court.
The truth gets even cloudier when so-called experts--many of whom have limited, if any, knowledge of the dynamics of police-involved shooting incidents--are willing to make claims that are clothed in Ph.D.'s and M.D.'s. To reconstruct a police-involved shooting requires two things: crime scene reconstruction experience and practical police training. Anyone who lacks either one of those traits lacks the ability to truly understand how to put the pieces back together.
At Knox & Associates, we can put the pieces back together. We can show the jury what really happened. We bring truth to light.
