Re: gun charge

The word of one person is enough to charge another person; proof beyond a reasonable doubt is another. Many crimes are committed under circumstances that the alleged victim is the only witness to the offense and the alleged perpetators are often successfully prosecuted and

convicted of same.

Call me if you like.

Re: gun charge

If the person making the statement is credible enough for the police to believe him then they can charge you with gun posession. However the prosecution still has to prove the case against you and it sounds like that may be difficult in your case (although not impossible for them). I am an attorney who has handled many cases similar to yours in various courts in New Jersey in the past. I would like to discuss your case with you in more detail. Please contact me at your convenience. I never charge for simply talking to a person about their case. Thank you.

Sincerely yours, -Ronald Aronds, Esq.-
