Q: How can you prove this charge if statute Cj 3 8a-30

A: Witness: "I saw the defendant hand a twelve year old boy a beer, and they both drank beer together."

Prosecutor: "Can you identify the Defendant in the courtroom?"

Witness: "That's him right there, in the blue shirt, seated at the defense table.

Prosecutor: "The State rests."

Judge, after close of evidence: "Mr. Defendant, I do not find your testimony credible that the boy did not drink from the beer bottle you handed him. I believe the witness who saw you hand it to him and then saw him drink from it. I also believe the police officer who took the beer from the child and confirmed there was beer inside of it. I also believe the state toxicologist that the beverage inside the beer bottle contained 7% alcohol after testing it in the state lab. Therefore, I find you to be guilty of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, under CJ 3-8A-30."

That's pretty much how it happens. There are countless possible scenarios. If you have a specific set of facts, then you might get an analysis regarding your particular case, but I strongly recommend that you do not post those details on this public forum, but have a confidential consultation with a lawyer.

A: Crimes are not mystical, metaphysical happenings, but rather relatively straightforward conduct and acts committed with the requisite intent. If someone directly observes the conduct, or, if the state possess is a sufficient amount of circumstantial evidence, the proof of criminal conduct is actually commonly straightforward, and uncomplicated. If you feel the state simy cannot prove an element of your offense, that could punch a hole in their burden of proof and be a different story. You should consult closely with the experienced criminal defense attorney of your choosing in a confidential forum.
