Legal Question in Criminal Law in North Carolina
My son was recently visited in our home and questioned about a robbery that happened over 2 months ago by a detective, my son did not do this crime and the detective said a teenager had stated that my son took him to where the items that were stolen were thrown away. My son didn't do any of this. The detective wants my son to take a voice stress analyzer test. While we have no problem doing this we feel it is not necessary since on the day in question, my son had just been released from the hospital and was in no physical shape to even leave the house, we do have the hospital report and can't understand why the detective is asking for this test. What are my son's rights?

Your son has the right to not cooperate with them. You need to consult with a criminal defense lawyer immediately before you cause your son to go to jail.
