Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

Re: Attempt to obtain but never did

It sounds as though you may have a potentially serious problem. You need to consult with a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. Many attorneys will offer you a free consultation, and others have made special arrangements with the county Bar Association in your area to charge a minimal fee (usually $25.00) for the initial consultation.

If you are in NYC or LI feel free to contact me if you need further assistance.

Re: Attempt to obtain but never did

Wow that's a lot of questions... Lets answer them in order:

1. Q:Can a person get in trouble for trying to obtaining a controlled substance?

A: Yes, it is called attempted possession of a narcotic. It lowers the class of the felony by 1 level.

2. Q: (what if they)were about (to get some but) realized that it was a set up and left without ever picking it up?

A: they would be in less trouble but still could face an attempt charge.

3. Q: is there a law attempting to fill without actually physically posessing the narcotic?

A: Yes.

4. Q: Also is the deposition of a few employees enough to make a case especially if most could not properly identify the suspect?

A: Eye witnesses who are not co-defendants usually are well regarded by juries. So yes, the word of eyewitness could help make a case that is otherwise weak much stronger.

OK If you or a loved one is involved in this, GET TO A CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER NOW. Don't wait until the cops are at the door. THere is much that can be done to legally avoid an arrest and indictment if you act fast.
