Legal Question in Criminal Law in Washington
How can a person be charged for a crime when they have no evidence what so ever of him doing the crime they accussed him of. All they have is one person against another what gives them the right to charge anyone without evidence.
ex. They took a man to court for Robbery 1, due to their victium saying he robbed him. The accussed has two priors so they offer him a plea to assault 3 but give him the exceptional sentence of 5 yrs. With no evidence of the first crime how can they continue the case and offer a plea to a different charge.
Need to know how the law bends so much in favor of the prosecutors office gettign another conviction for there belts.
