William Gary Potter, a former head of the Hells Angels chapter in Tucson, has recently been arrested and booked into the Pima County jail on suspicion of first-degree murder in the death of Randall Scott Pfeil.
The Hells Angeles Motorcycle Club is known for riding Harley-Davidson motorcycles and had a history of criminal activity. In Tucson, the 54-year-old former Hells Angel member was arrested after authorities found a body buried on his property, according to Associated Press.
The victim was reported missing last week and Pima County Sheriff's officials were at Gary Potter's home on Monday afternoon to conduct a missing persons investigation. Deputies reported that they found Randall Pfeil's body in a shallow grave at William Potter's home. An autopsy will be performed on the body to determine the cause of the man's death.
A case like this can certainly bring up a lot of questions for both prosecutors and Phoenix criminal lawyers. While a dead body was found on the man's property, there might not be enough evidence in the case for a first degree murder conviction. According to LawBrain, a first degree murrder crime is the unlawful killing of another human being that is premeditated and done with malice aforethought.
Because murder is considered to be the most serious criminal offense among Phoenix criminal lawyers, it's important that a murder suspect has a fair trial and is only convicted if there's enough evidence in the case. A Phoenix criminal defense attorney can analyze all the evidence in a murder case and ensure that the defendant's legal rights are being protected.
