Q: I was charged with Exploitation of the infirmed x2, Identity Theft x2, and Theft Over $5,000 But Under $20,000.
I'm not 100% sure how are why I was charged for all this. However, the date on the Police report falls into the time frame of when my uncle was being maliciously hacked by the mother of his son. She was apparently hacking into my uncles phone, my grandmothers phone, and my little cousins iPad. She was embedding child pornography in the devices as well as accessing and sending personal information. Unfortunately, my phone was also connected to their phone plan. My uncle filed several police reports for it. I'm assigned the WORST Public Defender! He's hangs up on me every time I've attempted to call and discuss my case. I don't know what to do or plea when I go to court April 13th.
A: If you are not satisfied with your current legal counsel, then you should explore hiring new counsel. If you are unable to do so, then you need to try again to reach out to your current counsel, even if means going to his office and waiting for him to be available to meet with you. As you know, there are multiple charges here and the charges are serious. Good luck.
