yeah, most pd offices have their own investigators. they help me mostly by interviewing witnesses and victims when I ask them to (and the 180 ones are skilled and thorough). Some of our investigators are former cops. I think others go through at least some kind of training in investigative techniques.

I think they are the best paid staff in our office after attorneys, but can be a lot of work when they get more serious cases like murders. Probably more interesting than being a paralegal at least

I was victim of a crime and had some Chad-cop looking investigator in a Charger confront me in a parking lot asking me questions about the crime, ostensibly to get some water-muddying admission out of me. I laughed at him and said "this is really your job?" and walked away

It’s gotta be done. I know most of the time victims of crimes didn’t do anything wrong but sometimes they lie or exaggerate. I got a case dismissed recently where my client was accused of felony car theft. It turned out the “victim” just regretted selling the car to someone at a lower price than what he could have sold it for and then reported it stolen. Our investigator did plenty of work interviewing witnesses and confronting the guy and it paid off

That’s not true at all ime. I I haven’t seen any examples of defendants getting punished more for being white.

Would you prefer criminal defendants have no right to counsel and the prosecutor have no burden of proving they committed a crime? Just let them rot in jail if the cops say they did something wrong (because cops never lie or abuse their power, right?) ?

Cross examining cops is 180. You can make them describe the chain of custody when they plant evidence (they always do, especially when the perp is guilty as sin)

I have thought about retiring and doing this. The cops are lying about 25% of the time and as long as it has decent health care I don't really care about the salary. The county over from me doesn't have a public defender, is all private attorneys on court assignment. Maybe I could get them to give me half a docket.

a) No Circuit Defender is dumb enough to give "half" of anything to one lawyer/firm.

b) If you can get hired by an actual PD office, then go for it. The bennies might be 180.
