Re: criminal charges against me

The D.A. does not have to believe what you or your husband have said. People lie to protect themselves and/or their loved ones, and it would make no sense to require prosecutors to ignore this reality. This doesn't mean either of you lied, but it does mean the prosecutor is allowed to disbelieve you.

It was a mistake to talk to the investigators, because you very likely gave them information with which to build a stronger case against you. This is probably why your lawyer can only be of limited help. If you have already damaged your case all he can do is work with the damage; he can't make it go away.
