I have a terrible problem and I haven't seen anything remotely similar to this, amd possibly I'm posting in the wrong forum. If so, please feel free to move my post.
I was in an auto accident close to a year ago. Everyone was fine from the accident, the worst injury was the driver in the other vehicle with a dislocated hip and a fractured kneecap. He went home a few days after surgery. However, after being a home for a few days, he got a blood clot and he died. They are charging me wtih homicide now. I do have a lawyer, but he is telling me to plead guilty to the homicide charge. I just don't think I should. I think there is some question that he might have died from the accident.. am i being stupid? Do I have a case to plead not guilty to this charge? Any and all thought.. ideas,... recommendations would be so helpful. I truly feel like I am at the end of my rope with this. I am a mother of 5 children, have never been in trouble in my whole life, my 39 year old sister died on the morning of this accident, and I did have several glasses of wine and was over the legal limit for alcoho. I'm just soooooscrewed up because of this now. please help. thanks.
