Onsted, MI Criminal Defense Law Firms & Lawyers

No one can ever prove their innocence. You goal in a criminal case is to force the prosecutor to prove their case, and hope they cant. What can you do? Hire an attorney, unless you know how to effectively represent yourself in court against a professional prosecutor intending to convict. If you can't afford private counsel, you can apply for the Public Defender. No amount of free 'tips and hints' from here or anywhere else are going to effectively help you in your defense, other than the advice to exercise the 5th Amendment right to SHUT UP and do NOT talk to ANYONE about the case except an attorney. That includes on this or any other web site or public forum. Most police and prosecutors will happily tell you that 95% of people convict themselves by trying to be 'helpful and cooperative', either during initial contact, questioning, interview or interrogation.

Very bad decision to talk to the police. You have likely made it very easy for them to charge with you as an accessory or conspirator. Get the best lawyer you can afford and only speak to them.

Once something gets on the internet it is almost impossible to get it off, because it gets circulated to many other sites that sell information about people. Once you plead guilty under HYTA, your information went on the internet and it is impossible to get it off. If a site says you are convicted of the offense that is false and you possibly can sue them. If they say only that you were arrested for the offense, and pled guilty to it, that is true, and you cannot successfully sue them. You can hire services that can contact the various sites that might have your outdated information and ask them to delete it, which might or might not work, but you would have to hit every site that has it, or the info might pop up again.
