Q: Criminal Law. So there is 12 ppl on a federal indictment and every one except one person is taking a plea but one person
Who has the most charges on the indictment, trafficking cocaine, meth and other illegal drugs plus money laundering is going in front of the jury is that the best thing to do?
A: Noone can know what is the best voluntary disposition without being his lawyer and investigating his Case. Defendant and his lawyer need to investigate the disclosed facts, examine witnesses and prepare for trial. The lawyer should also examine the possible federal Sentences involved. Then Defendant can make his decision whether to try it and probably appeal it, or go to prison now under a possible range of months that the Judge decides.
