Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

I can think of a number of scenarios in which a person could be charged with murder without being "part of the crime scene," whatever that means. If you are charged with murder, you will need to retain an attorney. Please feel free to call and discuss.

I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you asking if a person can be charged with murder if they weren't present at the scene? Potentially. Under an aiding and abetting theory, they may be responsible for actions they do that facilitate the commission of a criminal offense.

This is an incredibly vague question - it this applies to a real world situation, I'd strongly encourage you to sit down with a criminal defense attorney ASAP and sort this out.

Law? If you participate in any way in a crime, you get charged as an accessory, or as a conspirator.

When arrested or charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained in a test, search or confession be used against you, and can you be convicted, and what can you do? Raise all possible defenses with whatever admissible and credible witnesses, evidence, facts and sympathies are available for legal arguments, for evidence suppression or other motions, or at trial. If you don't know how to do these things effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney that does, who will try to get a dismissal, reduction, or other decent outcome through plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate. If serious about hiring counsel to help in this, and if this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me.
