Q: Looking for help
My ex bf framed me for robbery at his house while he was arrested. When he got released he reported me to the police but did not press any charges. He told me he needed to do this because he wanted to cash a check from his home insurance. Which he did. Now we are broken up and he threatens to press charges. How can i defend myself. Nothing of his got stolen he just cashed a fraudulent check of at least $11000
A:
You should consult with a local, experienced criminal defense attorney for advice. If you cannot afford retained counsel and have already been charged, you can request the appointment of a public defender.
