Asked on Nov 17th, 2012 on Criminal Law - Michigan
More details to this question:
My daughter found a credit card in the parking lot of my work she came to me and told me her boyfriendโs mom gave it to her to get some food. She got some food and came to me to check her out now there saying I was involved.
I already answered this question. Interestingly, in your first question to me, you said you used the card to buy gas. Now you don't include that in your question. It leads me to believe that you know more about this case than you are choosing to say. Sounds like maybe you were involved.
Yes, of course, you can be charged. If a jury believes you were involved then you can be convicted too. You need a good lawyer to help you show that you were not involved. That is the best way to avoid charges and a conviction.
Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.
They think you were involved. You are not guilty; but you need a good attorney. They have to prove that you were involved. You do not have to prove innocence.
