Criminal Defence lawyers gain an upper hand with transcripts of police interrogations
Posted by: Mona in LegalIf you are a criminal defence lawyer, at least in Ontario, Canada, intending to use a transcript during your trial, you aren’t obligated to provide the Crown with a transcript of the police questioning of parties involved, while the Crown definitely has this obligation.
If you’re the defence, then why not take advantage of this to take the other side by surprise? A verbatim transcript definitely goes much further than your notes from videos of the police investigation.
I’m sure your client would appreciate this upper hand especially considering it costs around $100.00 for a transcript for an hour long interrogation. At $2.50/ page for a Court ready transcript, considering the return, this expense is definitely worth it.
eDecree provides transcripts of police recordings and other legal proceedings . At $2.50/ page for a standard Court formatted transcript that you can use for trial prep as well as during the trial during your questioning, it’ll give you the edge and the element of surprise that goes a long way.
