Q: cruelty to children in the 1st degree and 2 counts of simple battery
A freind of mine got these charges and he is already on probation. He got bonded out but now probation has a warrant on him for violation. And it was all a big misunderstanding the wife and child said that my freind didnt do anything, but the police put him in jail anyways. The wife did not press charges but later found out the police officer did and now the state has picked it up. The wife and 14 year old son tryed to tell them that he was innocent but they wont listen. How do we get them to listen and drop the charges?
A: They need a lawyer to intervene and directly approach the PO. ANY arrest is basically grounds for a revocation, so this needs to be immediately mitigated by a lawyer who can hopefully slow or stop the process. The State has deep discretion in how to deal with these issues as once you are #OnPaper hey basically own you. It sucks.
