Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

I can only say that it seems that law enforcement did not believe your depiction of the facts. The one thing I'm sure of though is that, if you can afford it, get your son a very qualified attorney ASAP..... David Wallin

You? Hire him a criminal defense attorney. He needs one asap.

To him:

When threatened, arrested or charged with any crime, �What can you do�? Hire an attorney, unless you know how to effectively represent yourself in court against a professional prosecutor intending to convict. No amount of free 'tips and hints' from here or anywhere else are going to effectively help you in your defense, other than the advice [if not already too late] to exercise the 5th Amendment right to SHUT UP and do NOT talk to police or ANYONE about the case except an attorney. That includes on this or any other web site or public forum. Most police and prosecutors will happily tell you that 95% of people convict themselves by trying to be 'helpful and cooperative', either during initial contact, questioning, interview or interrogation. If serious about hiring counsel to help in this, and if this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me.

There is not much I can add to these already great answers other than to say most people talk themselves into to jail not out of jail. Get a lawyer and help him help you. Do not speak to the authorities about this case without your lawyer present.

Hope it works out for you.
