Re: my fiance is charged with murder
Obviously he needs a good lawyer who will raise the argument that the 9 year delay deprived your fiance of a fair trial.
Re: my fiance is charged with murder
Only a lawyer thoroughly familiar with all the facts of the case can advise you or your boyfriend what chances of prevailing in court he will have. This is obviously the time to retain a very good lawyer. If you cannot afford one, a public defender will be assigned to your case.
I am sorry to hear about your misfortune.

Re: my fiance is charged with murder
Only hope lies with a sophisticated trial attorney who has done murder trials and is accustomed to investigating "stale" cases...also requires a great investigator.....Many legal issues present w/stale cases and can only be litigated (w/hope of success) by counsel who is experienced in this area...seems everyone agrees he needs a great attorney....best.
