As a Former Deputy District Attorney and a Certified Criminal Law Specialist, who has handled 100's of Juvenile matters, I believe you have a serious matter, and need to try to resolve this case without a conviction, if possible. Anytime a student brings a weapon on campus, the prosecution takes it rather seriously. Call me at 661-267-1313, and I will be happy to answer all your questions....................David Wallin
