It just goes in circles or it's about studies done on the falsely accused. I have a criminal lawyer but he is not defending me. Please help. Need something or someone to listen. It has been 2 yrs of sheer hell!!
We're always happy to listen, and I hope you'll find us a constructive audience. But as for tangible help: you don't say where you are, what the accusations were about, or what criminal charges you're having to defend yourself against - what can we possibly suggest?
Tiken, I thought perhaps this question is a follow-on of other threads you've started before, which could have provided information on your situation. But I found none, so apparently this is your first post.
Unfortunately, insufficient information for anyone to even guess what the situation is hasn't been provided. I honestly don't understand how the Internet relates, unless you've gone to forums in which practicing criminal law attorneys respond. Even then, that's not to say that their advice isn't on point for your situation.
Here's what you need to provide in order to get responsive answers:
1. Details of the alleged accusations: actions or inactions, time period, parties involved, charging entities (police, sheriff, APS, etc.), and your position on the charges.
2. Type of criminal lawyer: court appointed, misdemeanor caseload or felony caseload; number of cases with similar charges, and results (plea bargained, tried, etc.) as well as years of practice in criminal law.
3. How you found/located this particular attorney, conditions under which he/s she took the case, actions taken, fees charge (especially if you paid a retainer).
4. Court level: district court, circuit court, or even appellate court if the case has gone that far.
5. First offense, or subsequent offense?
I'm not trying to be nosy, pry, or put you on the spot. But w/o details, no one can really any suggestions, and there aren't that many people here with criminal experience.
They lawyer is trying to get you to take a plea because it is easier for the public defender to not have to go to court. They will tell you to take the plea because you will only have 8 months in jail or whatever, whereas if you go to trial you could be convicted by a jury and end with 10 years in jail. Now more and more people are pleading guilty to things they didn't do. Stacy personally knows of a caregiver accused to taking jewelry who did plead guilty and served jail time when later the jewelry was found If you truly have a good case and documentation as you say you do I would insist on a jury trial. They cannot make you plead guilty. Tell them you will see them before a jury of your peers.
I'm sorry for your distressing situation. Please be careful about any "legal" advice you get on this anonymous, crowd-sourced forum as your case is based on the laws of your state and we can't possibly know all the critical details that may help or hinder you. Are you using a public defender? If you have privately hired an attorney, they usually only take cases they feel they can win. I would switch lawyers if you don't feel he is working on your behalf.
We are a forum of Caregivers sharing our experiences. Is the accusation concerning caring for someone? We really need more info to point you in the right direction.
If you are accused of something to do with elder abuse then your question is appropriate here, or if you are an elder accused of wrong doing you didn't do. The thing is, if you have a criminal lawyer that is no help I am certain we could help no other way than to give our sympathy. You might consider another lawyer. Sorry for your predicament.
What were you charged with? Need more information about your question. Guess I should’ve read a little more. I see more information if I scroll down LOL

I should begin at the beginning. What happened?

If you truly have a good case and documentation as you say you do I would insist on a jury trial. They cannot make you plead guilty. Tell them you will see them before a jury of your peers.
"Even though depositions and evidence show this is false and all $ is accounted for."
So why hasn't the case been dropped?
People plead who are not guilty all the time because they cannot afford good representation.
