LEGAL ADVICE NEEDED asap plz help?
|
My friend (on probation) who is in the same dorm as i am (college) just got arrested for underage drinking. When they approached him they did NOT know he was drunk, they wanted to question him about a crime he did no take part in. He was minding his own business and keeping quiet in his dorm when they wanted to question him about something he did not do. (he has a witness with him all day, night to dispute that he was guilty of that crime) howsoever they did catch him drunk. He has a court date tomorrow morning in a few hours.
WHAT SHOULD HE DO please help
1. Can they charge him for underage drinking? (he is 19) , because they weren't even going to question him about that
2. What will the court procedure be like
3. Can he ask for a lawyer or a continuance
4. What is the likely outcome (jail,fine,etc)

1. If they had a reason to make contact with him, then anything discovered because of that contact is legal.
2. His first court date is an initial appearance, he will be asked to enter a plea. If he enters a not guilty plea, it will be set for trial.
3. If underage drinking is a criminal offense, he can request an attorney. If it is not a crime, he will have to retain his own attorney.
4. The judge has a lot of discretion, so it is difficult to predict the outcome. |

He needs to request to be appointed an attorney. If he is asked for a plea at that time, his response should be NOT GUILTY. A lawyer should be able to get that tossed out pretty easily. If he is on a no drink order via probation, his officer can put a PO hold on him and make him sit in jail until certain things are satisfied by the courts. |
