Answered 10 years and 3 months ago by Edward J. Dimon (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
The police can use a confidential informant. The informant and police must testify at trial and be subject to cross examination. The jury then decides guilt or innocence. To be successful, you would need the informant to testify and say they were forced to lie by the police. This is difficult to achieve. However, if you have the proof and the informant will testify, you have a good case. Please call to discuss. Ed Dimon... Read More

Your daughter does not need to answer any questions. However, this may result in her being charged. You may be able to avoid charges by having her answer the question. You may want to have the presence of an attorney if  your daughter had a greater role in what happened... Read More
