you are in denial.   of course he did it.    post the details of his crime.  if you refuse to do so it proves my point.and by the way, unless he is on death row the innocence project won't return your phone call.

I have a close friend who has been in law enforcement for over twenty years. He says he almost always asks people why they committ crimes. I have asked him before what scammers say. He says they often say if people won't think and realize their being scammed that they deserve to be victims. Maybe not true of all scammers, but mostly the ones he's spoken with.

You will need a good lawyer, whether you are innocent or guilty.\n\nI would suggest a sincere letter of apology regardless.\n\nMean people suck!

Plea Bargain!... lol... okay, I dont' know the details and you're giving me second hand information, and I'd never give actual legal advice, so this is entirely opinionated. Details don't matter, but he's likely going to be represented by the state, and the State Attorney will have suggestions, and inform him of his violations  about this issue, which is between him and the S.A.O. (State Attorney's Office), and the Public Defender he is assigned, if so. \n\nWhat you can do, is either hire him a private attorney, or show up at his Pre-Trial and show support!

I was jailed for 10 months for assisting an offender and perverting the course of justice. I lied to the police about the whereabouts of my then boyfriend who was wanted by the police. My boyfriend had stabbed somebody that beat up his sister badly and i covered up for him. I thought my sentence was pretty harsh and still do as hit and run drivers get a fine and 3 points even if the victim dies.I wasn't a danger to or harmed anyone.

He was proved innocent in a court of law.  Why would you hang and innocent person.\n\nCoach

I think you screwed yourself.\n\nYou can file a post-conviction appeal if you have the grounds for one (such as incorrect application of the law during sentencing) but I wouldn't hold out much hope for your winning it.

Sounds like your friend may go back to prison.  If he has not paid his probation fees, then more than likely he was not reporting.  If that is the case, then his probation will probably be revoked.  By the way, it does not appear as if this person is interested in getting his life together, so in my opinion, he probably does need to go back to prison.

I can't believe the answers some of these people gave you! How heartless!\nYou can't really know what he meant by it, trust me I know, the best you can do is wait for word from him and know that he is trained to handle the situation over there. When you do hear from him again, ask him what happened and maybe talk about if he ever has to get offline quickly again, how to word it so as not to worry you so much. I hope everything is ok and I wish you and your friend the best.

I'm certain he is guilty. What kind of innocent person would lead the cops to chase after him for a long time after he lied and told them he would turn himself in? There were no other suspects that the police could find, and guilty people are let free a lot. The problem seems to be the amendment in the Consitution that says that a person can't be tried twice (double jeopardy), even if substatial evidence amounts against that person. I have heard a lot of rumors that a murder weapon was found, but that eveidence is now usless thanks to that amendment. Rich people like him can afford the best of lawyers, and his lawyer certainly was no amateur. He helped many other famous people walk free, and your lawyer runs most of the show at a trial. He knows all of the loopholes and how to bring his client out of a hole.

I suppose that your friend knows that you got in trouble?\nThen your friend made two mistakes.\nIf they were a true friend, they would not let you take the blame. Therefore, if they fail to come forward and take the blame away from you, it is safe to say that they were not your "friend" in the first place and you would be well within your right to set the record straight.

just plead guilty by post. if you go to court they will fine you more because you have no defence. sorry mate

guilty till proven otherwise. ?

Say not guilty and explain the situation.  If that does not work, work on a plea deal that will get it expunge after 6 month or a year of not getting into trouble.  Yes get a lawyer

You run a thin line with slander, especially if he has put the incident behind him. Discuss it with the police first to see if anything can be done

Finally, someone who puts the state in their question.\n\nLook...bottom line: your friend needs an attorney, not a bunch of well-meaning people on Yahoo.  Nobody here that has any idea what they're talking about it is going to offer any decent advice because there are just too many variables that could be in place.  Also, there would be more questions than answers, and your friend would be a fool to answer any questions here on Yahoo, if he's being charged with a crime.  \n\nWhat is felony fraud?  I suspect the links above will tell you, but generally it's fraud over a certain dollar amount.  Fraud, it sounds like you've figured out, is misrepresenting yourself to obtain goods/services/etc.\n\nFinally, I wonder about the, "friend is being told by police that he is to be arrested..." comment.  Rarely does anyone I work with communicate the intent to arrest someone...it's bad business, as it allows the suspect to begin thinking up stories to cover his tracks, talking to attorneys, flee the jurisdiction, etc., etc.  Perhaps there's some kind of misunderstanding as to the business of being arrested.
