Criminal defense attorneys are a defendant's last chance to escape life in prison or the death penalty. In numerous states, including Colorado, the death penalty is the ultimate sentence handed down from the courts for murder, and only highly experienced homicide defense lawyers with in-depth knowledge of the crime can be trusted with the defense.

With experience that includes homicide investigations, murder trials, police investigations and much more, Rosenthal & Heymann is positioned to offer highly qualified legal services to anyone facing murder charges.

For example, while murder may seem like a straightforward crime, there are numerous subtleties involved that can greatly impact a trial, investigation, sentence, jail time and so on. Once the State identifies an individual as having killed someone, or is criminally responsible for their death, the prosecutor may place that individual "under indictment" with a charge of one or more of the following classifications of murder:

• First degree murder
• Murder for hire
• Murder of a police officer
• Second degree murder
• Intentional murder
• Depraved indifference murder
• Child abuse resulting in death

There are also various crimes associated with homicide such as manslaughter, attempted murder, vehicular manslaughter and others.

The lawyers at Rosenthal & Heymann can provide a skilled defense during trials, jury trials, homicide investigations and more.
