Fullerton, Orange County - A 24-year old Fullerton man is under arrest for suspicion of murder after a person he got in a fight with died early Sunday morning as a result of his injuries, according to Fullerton Police.
The fight occurred at an apartment complex near Cal State Fullerton and witnesses tell police the suspect got into some kind of argument with the victim that led to a fight, which the suspect allegedly punched the victim in the face knocking him to the ground, according to Fullerton Police.
Police say the victim was taken to a nearby couch to recover, but a short time later people at the party discovered his wasn't breathing and called paramedics, where upon their arrival he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Guisti explains any sort of murder charge you're arrested for you need to take very seriously and contact an expert Orange County criminal defense attorney right away, because this is a charge that can not only put you away in state prison for the rest of your life, but could result in you being given the death penalty.

Fullerton homicide lawyer Guisti explains that even though murder is charged under Penal Code 187 they're several different elements under murder, such as first-degree murder, second-degree murder and capital murder, among others, all of which carry different penalties.
Based on what is known in this case so far it's possible the Orange County District Attorney may charged the suspect with second-degree murder, which is basically murder not deliberate and premeditated, but still considered willful, according to Attorney Guisti. Here essentially the suspect didn't mean nor planned to kill the victim.
Fullerton murder lawyer Guisti says in this suspect's defense it's possible he was using self-defense and this was just the unfortunate result. After all, we don't know how the fight started or who even threw the first punch, according to Guisti, and even if it's a case where the victim used "fighting words" to incite the fight and/or the suspect felt it necessary to take such action.
Murder cases are very complex and that is why, according to Guisti, you must call an experienced Orange County murder defense attorney.
As Attorney Guisti also explains, as expected murder cases take high priority with police, and sometimes in their rush to want to catch a murder suspect certain strict rules of police procedure may be illegally bent. Should this be the case with you this means your constitutional rights were violated and the case can be dismissed, according to attorney Guisti.
