Legal Question in Criminal Law in Indiana
My son was arrested, when a Sheriff obtained a court order, signed by a Judge to arrest him.
It was based on the fact that the Sheriff found finger prints at the crime scene.
The Sheriff told the Judge, that the finger prints would match, my son.
My son was arrested, but during the court case, the Sheriff admitted that the finger prints did NOT match my son. No finger prints from the crime scene matched my son.
Could this case be thrown out for an arrest, where a Sheriff lied about finger prints to get a warrant.

If the state's case is based solely on fingerprints, and there were none, your son should win at trial.
