Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

I would avoid doing this. It could be construed as tampering with a witness which in this case would be a first degree felony punishable by up to 30 years in prison. Instead, you should hire an attorney for your son who can review the case and determine what defenses and issues there may be. If you would like to discuss this case further, feel free to contact my office.

Contacting the homeowners is a very bad idea. Not only could it be construed as witness tampering, exposing you to criminal liability, but it may also harm your son's case. You could potentially say something that may be used against your son later.

The better course of action is to get an experienced criminal attorney to examine the facts of your son's case, and determine what defenses may be available in order to achieve the best possible outcome. If you have any other questions, please feel free to give me a call at your convenience.
