Re: criminal case

At the very least, you will be questioned as to how your phone came to be at the crime scene. The police may obtain a warrant to gain access to the phone logs, and you may be questioned about calls to or from the phone. If you anticipate that the presence of the phone at the crime scene could tend to incriminate you, you should immediately seek legal advice, rather than waiting until you are approached by the police.
