Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Re: obstruction of justice without violence

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. 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 nformation, 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.

From the facts you have presented, it would seem unlikely. Frankly, however, I have learned that often times the facts told to me by my clients do not match the fact pattern given on a police report or what eyewitnesses may say.

If charges are pressed, you should retain an attorney who can challange the state and make them prove their case by attacking the police report and looking for outside witnesses who are not related to the case.
