Can You Imagine Being Wrongfully Accused of Murder?

criminal defense attorney Washtenaw County

In July, three defendants took responsibility for the robbery and murder of a local singer, Egypt Covington, in 2017. Ms. Covington’s family and friends can finally find some peace and solace knowing the killers will be behind bars and can be thankful for the diligent work of the Michigan State Police in solving the case.

Let us backtrack to 2017, in the months and years before these three defendants were arrested, a local police department was handling the investigation.  This department zeroed in on one suspect and one suspect only:  K.M., Egypt’s ex-boyfriend.  When police detained him and began to pressure him for hours, he called and retained Dan Geherin, a criminal defense attorney in Washtenaw County to represent him.  

Despite efforts to cooperate with the investigators, Dan and his team received nothing but resistance from police. The police continued to focus on K.M., labeling him a “person of interest” and releasing his name to the press. They released his name despite no physical evidence tying him to the offense and no motive.
