Answered 11 years and a month ago by Edward J. Dimon (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
The police would have to have a basis for charging you with the crimes. For example, a codefendant wants to lessen his sentence.he tells the police that you're involved in these crimes.

Statements of the codefendants provide the defense for the police if you were to charge them with wrongful prosecution. You may be able to useplease baseless charges to your benefit. You can use them to plea-bargaining the charges against you. We have had good success using that tactic. I I am available to discuss the tactic.... Read More
