The defense of the case is one thing but I think more impotantly we must address the letter to the DA. Very rarely is a voluntary statement made to the DA or PD going to assist you. Please have her refrain from any further contact until she speaks to an attorney.

She should hire a good private attorney to fight this case for her, if possible, or have someone hire a good attorney for her.

Re: selling alcohol to minor

This senario has multiple consequences, first the criminal aspect and second the State Liquor authority consequence. Any plea taken by your worker affects your liquor license. Therefore I recommend getting a very competent attorney. I do this sort of work regularly. You may call my office@7188340087 for a free phone consultation.
