He only had a public defender and my dad and stepmom are the ones that believe my little stepsister. Even her blood brothers don’t believe her because she is known to lie! Because he was facing over 35 years for both charges he took a plea deal and only got 16 years
answered on Jul 18, 2023
To be certain, a criminal defense attorney must be consulted. In general, it's very tough to get out of a plea deal if the judge has already accepted it, and the defendant cannot "file for retrial" if there was no trial to begin with. There are very limited circumstances in which... View More

Your husband needs an attorney who will determine if the witness can be discredited - that is, come up with ways to persuade the trier of fact that the witness should not be believed.... View More
