If I didn't have any knowledge property was stolen what should I do, take to trial or take plea of lesser charge?

Answered by attorney Jared Christian Winter (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Jared C. Winter
I'm confused as to why you would seek advice from attorneys on the internet who don't know your case, don't know the local DAs or judges, over the advice of the lawyer who knows all of these things. The decision to take a plea deal or go to trial is yours, not your attorney's. But you would be wise to heed the advice of your lawyer. If you feel that your lawyer is not competently representing you, you can ask the court to appoint a new one (called a Marsden hearing in California), or you could hire a private lawyer of your choosing.

Will I get in trouble if my friend was found in possession of my anabolic steroids?

Leonard D. Harden
Answered by attorney Leonard D. Harden (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Harden Law Office
In the U.S., anabolic steroids are currently listed as Schedule III controlled substances under the Controlled Substances Act , which makes the first offense simple possession of such substances without a prescription a federal crime punishable by up to one year in prison, and the unlawful distribution or possession with intent to distribute anabolic steroids punishable as a first offense by up to ten years in prison. If you have a valid prescription you may be okay to go to court and say they were yours. However, there are always risks. If no prescription it gets complicated and you should consult a lawyer. In NH 17 means you would be treated as an adult.

My motion for new trial went in on August 6, 2012 how long does it take for the judge to review the motion?

Criminal Law lawyer at Lawrence Lewis, P.C.
The motion for new trial is filed, and then scheduled for a hearing. The judge does not review the motion in any detail. The other side has a right to respond to the motion. So, a rule nisi will be sent to you with the date the motion should be argued in court. If you have not heard anything about a court date in 60 days, you should phone the judge's office.
