An independent investigation is critical to criminal defense and can make the difference between a verdict of guilty or not-guilty.  The prosecutors have all of the power and resources of the government at their disposal -they have law enforcement personnel, from the patrol officers to the detectives who are assigned to any given case.  They have investigators who work in their office helping to build a case against you, and they have the benefit of crime labs and experts who can testify for them on any topic.  When they need resources they need only make a call or sign a slip of paper to get the funding they want. 

The police, detectives, and prosecutors are collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses with the goal of obtaining evidence that they can use to get a conviction.  There may be key elements of your defense that are missing, evidence that has been "overlooked," and witnesses that were not looked for or interviewed.  This is why an independent investigation is so critical that the appellate courts have held that it is ineffective assistance of counsel to rely solely on the government's investigation. 

Criminal defense investigations require specific skills.  Bill Beam's law enforcement career and investigative training has helped to create an investigator who knows the questions to ask to get to the truth.  His skill in witness location and interviewing and the gathering and interpretation of information is an essential tool in the defense of any criminal case.
