One can only hope to never be charged with a sex crime. From your initial contact with police to your first appearance in front of a Trial Judge, being charged with a sex crime in California, with its harsh sentencing guidelines, can be a very intimidating and overwhelming experience.

One of the more important aspects of a trial involving a sex crime is a Jury View of the alleged crime scene. One of the toughest things for jurors is to “imagine” the crime scene as described by an alleged victim, defendant or witness, while they sit in the court room. In most cases, testimony, photographs and diagrams will not allow the jurors to properly or adequately picture the crime scene in their mind, which can lead to jurors making assumptions or reaching conclusions about the alleged sexual conduct that can ultimately have a negative effect on their verdict.

To navigate through a sex crime trial successfully, one must be sure to have a criminal defense attorney who is well-versed with the laws involving sex crimes, including the specialized rules of evidence involved in a sex crime trial, and who knows what pretrial motions to file, including a Motion for a Jury View.
