In Phenix City Alabama, I’m charged with hindering prosecution on a homicide case. Honestly I didn’t know who it was that shot the person, I was the * caller
Hi Ashley, I understand your situation. Under Alabama law:
- Hindering prosecution can be considered a crime if you knowingly render criminal assistance.
- Lack of knowledge about the crime could be a potential defense.
However, it's advisable to consult with a local criminal defense attorney for personalized advice.
I have never been in trouble or been to jail before
I hear your concern, Ashley. Having no prior criminal record can be beneficial for your case. Are you currently represented by a legal counsel or are you seeking recommendations for a defense attorney in Phenix City, Alabama?
They court appointed me one but I want one that will push for me
I understand your concern, Ashley. In Alabama, you have the right to change your court-appointed attorney if you feel they aren't representing you effectively. You can hire a private attorney or request a different public defender. However, approval for change is at the judge's discretion.
