Q: Me and my girl are out bail . We are both being charged with handgun that was not in neither one of us possession.
The people that said I had gun have there stories mixed up. Now I think DA wants to get me with being ex felon charges. Can I qualify for probation . Or ankle monitor.
A:
MORE INFO NEEDED.
WHEN THEY SAY POSSESSION, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ON YOU. YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION.
FOR INSTANCE, IF YOU ARE DRIVING AND THEY FIND IT IN YOUR CAR (OR IN YOUR APARTMENT), THAT IS CONSIDERED POSSESSION......IE YOU AARGUABLY HAVE CONTROL OF IT.
YOU NEED TO ASK FOR A PUBLIC DEFENDER OR RETAIN A LOCAL CRIMINAL LAWYER ASAP. BEING A FELON IN POSSESSION IS VERY SERIOUS.
