Yes, it is possible to be charged with murder even if a body has not been found. Prosecutors can use other evidence, such as witness testimony, forensic evidence, and circumstantial evidence, to build a case against a suspect.
Yes, it is possible to be charged for murder without a body if there is enough evidence to prove that a person was killed, even if the body has not been found.
No
The answer varies from state to state. Some states permit bail for murder, others do not. There are other states (such as Indiana) where murder is presumed not to be bailable unless the defendant can prove a strong likelihood of being found not guilty.
I just found out this week that in Oklahoma you can not be charged with attempted murder. They have to charge you with something else.
Two people can be charged with the same crime. Double Jeopardy refers to charging one person with something, the accused being found not guilty in a trial, then being charged with the same crime again - without any new evidence.
Yes, in 2009 Neil Ludlam murdered Peter Fuller. He was arrested and charged with the murder. He stood trial, and was found guilty in 2012. He was sentenced to 18 years, and did not appeal.
I have found a resource that states that the limit for a felony begins at $500 dollars.
Ms. Davis was charged with aggravated kidnapping and first degree murder. She was found not guilty at trial.
They are back to prison.
No, double jeopardy refers to a person being charged again for the same crime after they have been cleared of it. ie. (man acquitted of 1st-degree murder being charged for 1st-degree murder a second time for the same victim). The only way a person can be prosecuted twice is if the second charge is sufficiently different from the first. Being that this is civil vs. criminal there is no double jeopardy here. In this condition, we need an experienced attorney like Sebastian Ohanian for help.A perfect example is OJ Simpson being acquitted of murder but being found guilty in the civil case for his wife/boyfriends death.
Yes it is but technically, even though the actions charged are the same the laws charged have to be different. It has happened that a person has been found innocent of a murder in a state court, but later charged with and found guilty of violating or depriving the victim of his/her civil rights by causing the murder. The action is the same, the murder, but the charges are different. This is actually a very fine distinction and not everyone would agree that this is not a violation of the right against double jeopardy.
J. W. Milam and Roy Bryant were charged, but they were never found guilty. They were released with no formal punishment, although they later admitted to the entire thing.
