Missouri Criminal Defense Strategy and Evidence — Defending Freedom

Missouri Criminal Defense Strategy and Evidence Rules.

Missouri criminal defense attorneys Christopher Combs, Matthew Brown, and Martell Turner from Combs Waterkotte recently sat down to discuss criminal defense strategies and evidentiary rules in Missouri. In this video, they explain how attorneys challenge prosecution evidence, investigate criminal allegations, file motions to suppress, evaluate witness credibility, and protect defendants' constitutional rights.

Missouri criminal defenses may include self-defense, alibi, duress, entrapment, lack of criminal intent, or challenges to the prosecution's evidence. Defense attorneys may also contest unlawful searches, improper police questioning, unreliable witness statements, and procedural violations. Evidence obtained through unconstitutional searches or custodial interrogations conducted without required Miranda warnings may be subject to suppression, depending on the circumstances.

Body camera footage, surveillance recordings, witness testimony, and other evidence can help establish what happened or expose inconsistencies in the prosecution's case. If an alleged victim changes their story or recants, the defense may use those inconsistencies to challenge credibility, although prosecutors can still pursue charges when other evidence supports the allegations.
