Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

Stolen Property...

The apartment next to my sister's has property stolen from it. They accused myself, both of my sisters, her husband and one other neighbor. My sister willingly let the officer and the victim in her house to search without a warrant. Nothing was found. The property was recovered. They have reason to believe it was my brother in law. They said they have witness' claiming my sister, her husband, and I put it in a car and left on a specific day. Then the witness' turn around and have 3 other stories. The day theyre saying we supposedly did this we werent at the house. The officer said I can be charged with B & E. Even after I said I didnt steal anything. I guess my question is can they charge me on herasay? And can they still press charges if their stuff was returned? If so how long after the incident can they press charges?

Re: Stolen Property...

They can charge you years after the alleged incident. Whether the can prove their charges in court is a very different issue.

Stop talking to the cops. Stop allowing searches. You're digging yourself in deeper. Hire an experienced and aggressive attorney to try to prevent the filing of charges. If you do get charged, hire a lawyer with a proven track record.
