so my good friend is in legal trouble and we had a long talk. he got arrested for aggravated assault which was not his fault but.... you know how it is. he got in fight with a coworker at some restaurant parking lot. the coworker sustained a "mike tyson" ear injury and had to be stitched up at hospital. the injury was bad enough to require a plastic surgery. a nurse notified police. and then a detective called my friend in for his statement. and the cop decided that my friend is at fault even though it was in self-defense. he got held down by coworker's friend while getting pummeled in the face. and then he was able to move free and bit him in the ear. so he spent a nite in jail and had to pay $1,200 for bail next day. the coworker didn't want to press charge but the cop is pressing charge anyway.
I told him that he should never ever talk to police without a lawyer present in any criminal matter. he didn't know any better so oh well. he may be facing possible jail time. so I gave him a number to a fantastic lawyer I've used a long time ago for my speeding ticket. he's a miracle man.
so you guys.... whatever happens.... no matter what.... your fault or his fault... never. ever. talk. to. police. without. your. lawyer. present. no matter if a police officer was threatening you with arrest or jail time. just say NOTHING and get a lawyer. period.
