Legal Question in Criminal Law in Massachusetts

larceny

My arraignment date is on may 21st.

I am being falsely accused but i want

this whole thing over and done. I do

not want to pay for a lawyer over a

stupid ipod that i did not take. Can I

still make any type of evidence

hearing that would convince the

judge i had nothing to do with the

theft even if my arraignment is

already scheduled? Also I'm charged

with larceny over 250 dollars. The

alleged missing ipod is not even

worth 250 dollars (new that is). Can i

still be charged with this crime?

Re: larceny

You should retain an attorney. Conviction of a felony especially for larceny can ruin any career.

An attorney may still be able to get the matter remanded to a clerk's hearing to challenge the probable cause for issuance of the complaint and save you from a record if you act quickly before your arraignment. Retaining an attorney is money well spent. Good luck!

Re: larceny

You are already charged with the crime and no, you can not explain to the judge or anyone else that you didn't do it without trial. You should reconsider the lawyer. Get a court appointed one if you can't afford one. Keep in mind that your record is with you for life. Don't make a bad decision here. Let a lawyer guide you.
