He suppose to have a trial on the 24th, and he was given t options.. plead guilty and probation for 2yrs with misdemenor, or wait for the trial, and if he lose its a felony. My son is not guilty..he was false arrested for robbery and assult.. the victim can't even identify him, and they kept my son for 3 months now... for all the court.. now he plead guilty because his attorney tells him to..... we have witnesses ready to witness for my son on his trial.. and lawyer still have him plead guilty.... please help me... this lawyer is lying.

Answer
Thanks for your question. Your son does not have to plead guilty.He should not do so unless he voluntarily does so. But I will tell you that if he goes to trial he may be convicted of a felony. So tell him to weigh his choices but it is his to make. He can tell the judge he wants a trial here.
