Can I recant the statement and not be in trouble? Also what are the chances the case will be dropped?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
No it is not all completely unnecessary. When someone has been physically abused, battered, like this, you call the cops and they are taken away to jail. You knew this, and there is no going back on what you said without perhaps subjecting yourself to being arrested for filing a false police report. These cases are always difficult to deal with, but I have done so many that it has become a second nature to defend people charged like this. What you need to do more than anything else is make sure that he has a great attorney who loves to fight in court. There will probably be a no contact order, and that can most likely be modified to a no violent contact order. But if he does not have an attorney who likes to fight in court, his chances of being branded for the rest of his life greatly increase. Good luck, and get him an attorney like me who just loves to fight cases like this.

Is jury allowed to hear expert testimony as to why the defendant confessed to a crime he did not commit after a pre-trial determined it was voluntary?

Answered by attorney Jonathan S. Willett
Criminal Law lawyer at Jonathan S. Willett Attorney at Law
The answer to your question is yes. Even after a court rules a confession admissible, a jury can be required to determine whether it was voluntary.

What will the charges be for a first time offense of petty theft of a shop lifting case in Florida?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Eric J Trabin (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Trabin Law Firm, P.L.
If the theft was under $300 then the charge will be petit theft. There are 2 degrees of petit theft, depending on whether the property was more or less than $100. Petit theft is a misdemeanor. If you can hire a private attorney then you should.
