Thank you for your concerned input, but I will say, I am confused because the conversation I witnessed, was my friend describing to his attorney, how he was viciously attacked by 2 men in a bar and how he had to fight for his life, or die. And also, when he refused to plead guilty to a lesser...
Great... I will do just that, and then some!! Wish I had found your "suggestions" months ago... Hope it's not to late, but I won't give up until I've left no stone unturned!!!
Thanx again for your encouragement, it has made all the difference to me... Barb
I totally agree with you... so how does my friend get the judge to agree to let him have another attorney, after he has already been denied this request twice? He started asking to change his attorney, in March of last year, right after I saw him in jail. His reasons were the same as some you...
Believe me, I have no reason to make this stuff up... I went to the jail with my friends attorney, the Public Defender, who wanted me to try to talk my friend into taking a plea bargain, instead of taking his case to court. My friend refused, stood up and left the room in anger. Outside the...
I was there when my friend was offered the plea bargain by his attorney, and he absolutely refused, because even though it was a lesser charge, it had nothing to do with him. He said he would rather take his chances in court, than admit to something he didn't do. And yes, the "story" the army...
OMG... I met with my friends attorney in person and he told me, "he was afraid he didn't have enough criminal experience to defend my friend properly in court, and was afraid if he lost, my friend would file an appeal, and it could hurt his professional reputation in the future". I know this...
While I certainly don't disagree with you at all, I have also served on several jury's and I appreciated it when the defendant spoke to us in his own words. Even when the prosecutor cross examined the defendant, the defendants own words still carried more weight on my decision to vote in his...
The good news is,I just found out 2day my friend finely got a court date, after waiting for more than a year... the bad news is, his attorney the Public Defender, whom he has absolutely no confidence in at all, will not support his request to testify in his own defense.
Isn't it his right as a...
WOW!!! To my knowledge he never requested to postpone his right to a speedy trial... I will definitely look into this immediately... thank u so much for this info. Barb
Thank you for your input, but I think one of the reasons my friend is still sitting in jail, is that he refused to take a plea bargain for a robbery he had absolutely nothing to do with, in exchange for not taking his case to court!! The account of what happened in the News Paper is a complete...
Thank you so much for your response, I will fallow up on all of your suggestions and pass them on to my friend... since I have never been arrested myself I had no point of reference for this situation... Thank u again Barbara
I don't have the funds to hire him an attorney or I would... I have known my friend for over 25 years and I have never known him to be a lier... I have however witnessed the police change the facts of a situation to fit their agenda... like in this report what happened to the other man who was...
I would love to hire him an attorney but I am living on SS of less than $800 per mo. I tried this sight because I don't know what to do to help him OK???
I am not sure how to make a complaint about this situation but here goes... My friend was arrested in November of 2016 after being in a bar fight. He has been sitting in the Churchill County Detention center for over 14 months. He wants to take his case to court but the Public Defender wants him...
