Is he possibly going to lose his license for imprudent driving and being in violation of a graduated license?

Nathaniel D Shafer
Answered by attorney Nathaniel D Shafer
Criminal Law lawyer at Natty Shafer Law
If he loses his license, it will probably be for having too many points on his record. If you can get one or more charges dropped, then he can avoid that. Hiring a lawyer might help you get some of the charges dropped, but it will likely cost more than the cost of the fines. It may be worth the cost to help him keep his license. In court, there will be an initial appearance where he has the opportunity to either admit the charges or request another court date.

Can I be charged with murder if my friend gets shot while we rob a house?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jason Clay Overton (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Harris Firm, LLC
Yes. It's called the Felony Murder Rule. Basically, your friend wouldn't have been shot had the two of you not been trying to rob someone, so the State looks at it as your fault ( and your friend's) that your friend was killed.
