Q: I've been charged with possession of guns that were stolen in another state, then transported to Massachusetts
With no details of how the guns were transported, by whom or when and only the knowledge of their location, no evidence of physically having possession of them how an I be charged with possession?
A:
Is there a warrant? Have you been arraigned? If you have a lawyer, he or she can answer that question.
If you’ve not been to court but found out about the case, you really should show up with a lawyer. Especially if you are from out of state. I know that doesn’t answer your questions but understand that you are not facing the facts. You are not facing the truth. You are facing what the police report says “happened. “ our job as lawyers, often times, is to show what really happened.
