Last month there was a shooting inside a jewelry store which resulted in the death of the store owner, Criminal Defense Attorney Javier Chavez analyses the situation.
I would advise Mr. John Craiger to hire an attorney and seek legal counsel right away. He will most likely be charged with First Degree Murder which is a Capital offense in Florida. Under Florida law the government will have a short amount of time to decide if they will seek the death penalty.
Mr. Craiger will need give his side of the story, which may include witnesses and evidence. This would assist any Attorney representing him to identify any defenses he may have such as self-defense, defense of others, necessity defense, and the Insanity Defense. If Mr. Craiger waits to consult a lawyer, it becomes more difficult to find witnesses and evidence.
