Your fiance may be guilty or not guilty, but there must be some other proof upon which the charge is based. He will stay in jail until he makes bail or he is released following his acquittal

or the dismissal of his charge. What he will get out of his case depends on what is put into his case by his lawyer.

Call me if you like.

I understand the position the two of you are in. He claims he is innocent (and he might be) and no one has seen any evidence. While I have seen some crazy cases in my career, it is very rare for someone to be arrested on no evidence. You just don't know what the evidence is yet. I suggest you focus all of your time and efforts on getting him the best lawyer possible. Then, the lawyer can worry about everything else. Call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss.

He can be held until either he gets bailed out or formal charges are brought against him and he is indicted, tried, and either convicted or acquitted. I would have to review the poice report before I could advise you as to whether or not the charges could stick. Please contact me to disucuss this case in more detail. I never charge for just talking to a person about their case. Thank you.
