What is the name of your state?Kansas
Ok, this is the first time I'm on this site and I need some advice. I'm writing a story and I'm not sure on the legal procedure of some things. The character in my story is being charged for 3 different murders. There has been no physical evidence at the crime scenes and the only evidence they do have is the testimony of a witness. But the witness is now dead, will they still be able to hold him in jail for the crimes without the witness? Even if they do have her statement on file, if she can't come to the trial???
I'm just wondering if they could still hold him or would he have to be let free on the account of not enough evidence???
If someone could help me, I'd sure be thankful!!!!
Thanks a bunch!
