Re: attepted armed robbery

The answer truly depends on how the complaint is written and to which charge you are referring. Usually, there is more than one gun charge when someone is arrested for a gun so it depends. Also, what do the bills state? In other words, it realy depends on a lot more information then just the complaint.

Good Luck. Feel free to email or call.

That depends if you have an attorney. If you have an attorney, he will file a motion to exclude the evidence of the gun, or he will address it in his cross-examination of the ballistics expert or the police officer. You should definitely hire counsel for a case as serious as this. If you need to talk about our firm representing you, you can contact me at the office at 267.639.3105, or at [email protected].

It depends on a lot of things. The complainant might not be a firearms expert and just thought it was a different type of firearm. You really do need an attorney for this type of case.
