| We hired an attorney in September 2011 to handle a possesion of marijuana case for our son |
| At the time we didn''t have information on the name of the arresting officer. We paid the attorney and he took the case. After he received the information and the police report he told us that we should just settle and not let this go to court and he knows the police officer and he is a good guy they have a personal relationship and go hunting and fishing all the time. The police officer is not able to produce a video tape from his car regarding the incident nor has any "evidence" been returned from the crime lab. We are just having to rely on the police report and he is not even attempting anything further since, in his word, "the cop is one of the good ones, I have a personal relationship with him". At the point of knowing that the police officer was one of his personal friends should he not have withdrew from the case or assigned another attorney. I feel that my son is not be represented fairly. |

| How can I dismiss charges after I have filed a report? |
| I recently filed charges against someone I know for breaking into my home. He stole $100 from me and remove his own food from the home. He had been living with me at least a month prior to the incident, but has now been charged with breaking and entering, felony larceny, and possession of stolen goods. If I drop these charges I filed against him, will that get him out of jail or is that for someone else to decide? Also, when can I actually drop these charges? I''ve considered mailing a letter to the District Attorney and the Sheriff''s Office that arrested and charged him telling them I would like to drop the charges, but what else must I do? Before he was arrested we made an agreement and I have seen him since. I would no longer like to hold these charges against him. |
