Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Re: construtive possesion?

Has your PD filed a motion to suppress the evidence? There is a construction possession problem here. The are where it was filed was not in your exclusive care custoday or control. I would not have your wife admit it, she could be arrested and prosecuted.

You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

You need to discuss this with your attorney. It would be unethical for another attorney to give you legal advice while currently being represented. Suffice it to say, if your attorney can provide doubt as to the ownership of the drugs, you should not be convicted.

Re: construtive possesion?

i disagree with mr. jay. it is ethical to get a second opinion. the state must prove control, knowledge, and illegality of the drug. i think a jury mught have a hard time believing your wife put it there without your knowledge.
