I agree. I wish I knew why they wanted this conviction so badly. My son and his girlfriend did not take the questioning seriously because they knew they were innocent, so maybe the police took it as a sign of disrespect towards them. When I called the station to question them, the officer who...
They were the last two out of the sorority house so that is what they are going on even though the alarm didn't sound until they were on the bus. The alarm also went off in the same house at 2:40am that same night.
There was another incident on campus a few hours earlier then my son's...
Mighty, you are absolutely right in everything you have said. I was nervous about the advice I have received on here, not knowing anyone etc but you have been correct and I thank you. I spoke to an attorney near the University and he stated exactly what you did, not to talk to the police at...
The kids are afraid of the consequences. I have called numerous law firms in the area (as instructed by a NYS attorney) with no response. I finally contacted the bar association of the county and was told I will be contacted this week. I would like to have an attorney on "speed dial" just in...
So if the police contact the kids they can just ignore them without any legal ramifications? When my son's girlfriend told them she would not speak to them without an attorney they asked for the name of her attorney. She has not yet retained one yet. Do we have to give them that info?
Thank you for the hope. They are bullying him. They called him tonight and left a message that they are sending him a citation for underage drinking (which he foolishly admitted that he was). They never mentioned the other charge though. Are they up to something?
Thank you for your concern. I cannot believe how unfairly they are being treated. They are good kids, dean's list honor students trying to prepare for life and unfortunately have to learn that it's not always fair. Life lessons are difficult.
Another concern I have is the person/persons...
Thank you. The kids just want closure on this. They don't want to worry about the next phone call/interview etc. I am trying to retain an attorney in the area as instructed by attorneys I have spoken to in NYS. No one has returned my call or answered my emails. I don't understand.
Sorry, I feel as if I'm jumping all over the place with this. My son called into the precinct on Saturday and told the receptionist that he would not be coming in on Sunday because he needed to retain counsel. The receptionist looked up his name and said there was no record of him on her...
I have contacted three different law firms in the Pennsylvania area and not one has returned my call. I just reached out to the Lehigh Bar Association in hopes that they can assist me in finding an attorney.
My son's girlfriend was called to the police department yesterday and she refused to...
Thank you so much for answering. He was read his Miranda rights but not handcuffed, printed or photographed. He was held for about 2 hours in a room after questioning and after he asked for an attorney. The officers told him to sit there and "think about things" for awhile. They had his...
Thank you for your response. We live 3 hours away. Should we have an attorney go up there for the Sunday meeting or wait to hear from the Police? They released him without any paperwork, just a business card with the Police Officer's name on it. They never stated the official charge to him...
My son was arrested and held by campus police for allegedly pulling a fire alarm. He was not in the building when the alarm was pulled, he was on a bus going to a campus affair. The bus was pulled over and he was removed from the vehicle and taken to the station house where he was read his...
