San Jose Criminal Lawyer

The criminal defense lawyer representing the teen who is facing criminal charges for the murder of a Duke University graduate student is working diligently to control the information supplied by the police investigation. The release of too many details presents a viable threat to her client’s right to a fair trial. Lovette’s attorney notes that the overwhelming publicity of the trial may have the “unavoidable effect of denying this defendant of his constitutional rights.”

Lovette, the teen on trial, has been charged with first-degree murder. He is also accused of killing another student who was found on the UNC-Chapell Hill campus. Lovette’s attorney is seeking the protective order after a lead investigator leaked information about the case in the presence of a reporter. The information from Lovette’s criminal record that had been divulged was information that amassed before Lovette’s 16th birthday. This information is usually kept public.
