We would need to see all the evidence in the case to determine the best defense. That is why by law the prosecution must show the defendant the discovery prior to the trial of the case so a proper defense can be determined based on all the facts of the case for which we have none.

You should never send a document like that over a public website. If you need a lawyer to give you a second opinion on a case, you should seek out a lawyer for a second opinion and bring the document with you, otherwise you should ask his lawyer.

It would be the same as if you were an adult. It's a third degree case which subjects you up to 3 to 5 years in jail $15,000 fine probation and restitution as required by the court. If you do get charged to make sure your parents hire a good lawyer for you to reduce or eliminate these penalties.

I think you are on the right track you need to find another attorney. We are not supposed to give specific legal advise on this site. I suggest that you setup a 2nd opinion consultation with a lawyer, it may cost a few bucks for the lawyers time, but it may be well worth it for you.

The same as if your mother asked you to shoot a gun at a person, just because someone told you to do it, does that mean that you have to listen or that you have immunity from prosecution. By the way it is a crime for... View More

You didn't ask a specific question, I suggest that you seek an in office consultation to get a second opinion if you don't like what your lawyer is telling you or what he is asking you to do. That being said expect a lawyer to charge you for his time and advise.

Daughter who does have some judgments against her that are marked 'DP' in the degree block of her "Judgment of Conviction" form. The 'DP' I believe refers to 'disorderly person'. That is not a felony, correct?
answered on Oct 11, 2020
Bring your form to a lawyer to determine the correct answer, the problem is that a DP offense can go on your CCH where some organizations may consider it the same as a felony.

In general if person had a warrant for his arrest he/she can be arrested anywhere at any time and searched. That being said a lawyer should look into the circumstances he/she may not be the general case.
answered on Oct 4, 2020
The answer depends on the facts of the case and why they were doing the search.
