A:
Firstly, gather any evidence or information that supports your claim of being unknowingly drugged. This may include witness statements, medical records, or any other relevant documentation.
Next, contact a criminal defense attorney in Indiana. Provide them with all the details surrounding the incident, including the circumstances leading up to the charge and any evidence of being drugged.
Your attorney will assess the evidence, conduct an investigation, and determine the best defense strategy. In cases where individuals claim to have been drugged involuntarily, a skilled attorney may explore potential defenses related to a lack of intent or control over their actions.
It's important to note that being a victim of a crime, such as involuntary drugging, can significantly impact the legal proceedings. Your attorney will work to build a strong defense, possibly challenging the reliability of the OWI charge given the unique circumstances.
