Asked in Criminal Law and Federal Crimes for Mississippi

Q: My fiancé has 3 counts of receiving stolen firearms but she wasn't caught with any weapons and they didn't find any gun

Is there a way we can get her bond reduced or any other way to get her out. She is willing to do whatever it takes to get home to me and the kids

A: It really depends on the facts of the case. Assuming that your fiance is a first time offender, then there is a greater likelihood of her getting her bond lowered to something more reasonable. I would be more concerned about why law enforcement is charging her when she did not have them in her possession. Your best bet is going to be to get with an experienced criminal defense lawyer to see what can be done.
