Q: I have been charged with conspiracy to commit a felony even tho I didn’t agree to commit the act
I went with my friends to this vape shop and they wanted to rob it and I had put on my shirt over my face and told them no that it was a bad idea and that we should leave and the only reason I had my shirt over my face is cause it was cold and it was raining so why should I be charged with conspisracy to commit the act if I told my friends that I want gonna be involved in the act and I’m only 17 and this is my first charge but I haven’t been to court I went to jail for 7 days and bonded out so what will happen in court if I use my first offenders act?
A: I would encourage you to hire a lawyer in the jurisdiction where you were arrested. The charge is not going away on its own but you may have some options to avoid a conviction.
