WHY DOES MY APPOINTED LAWYER WANT ME TO TAKE A DEAL FOR SOMETHING I DIDNT DO?

Richard Keith Oliver
Answered by attorney Richard Keith Oliver (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Law Office of Rick Oliver
The decison of whether to accept or reject a plea offer is yours and yours alone. Your attorney cannot "force" you to take a plea. I wouldn't venture to guess at why he or she wants you to take the offer, without having an opportunity to review the evidence the state does or does not have. If you don't want to take the advice of your appointed lawyer, your only option is to hire a different attorney who will be willing to set the case for trial.

Did I make any offense?

Mark R. Thiessen

Criminal Law lawyer at Thiessen Law Firm
Any damage is already done, so there is nothing you can do now. Obviously if the police contact you, do NOT speak or give any statements to the police. Keep your mouth shut, remain silent, and ask for your attorney. As for prevention, don't go to that site anymore and do not look at those type of images anymore.

Will I be arrested soon or is there a chance charges could be dropped because it wasn't a case that was worth it?

It's possible, but I would not count on them forgetting about it. They have two years to bring a criminal charge against you. But to give you perpective, there are people arrested for stealing 51.00 dollars from a store. You just have to wait. Good luck.
