Legal Representation Concerns

Summary

If you are facing felony charges in Indiana, its crucial to understand your rights and the legal procedures involved. The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures, and any evidence obtained without a warrant or probable cause can be challenged in court. For possession charges, the prosecution must prove you had knowledge and control over the meth found. If your lawyer is unresponsive, you can file a complaint with the Indiana State Bar Association. Filing a complaint should not jeopardize your defense or result in the loss of your money. You have the right to effective legal representation and can seek a new attorney if necessary.

Paoli Indiana. Incarcerated on felony * charge. Possession of meth * grams or more. My motion of discovery states there is no video or audio of anything. I was not home at the time. They charged my girlfriend. They picked me up at a later date. My house was not searched. A person i know asked me to hold a box in my safe that had her grandmother ashes in it. I abliged. She offered money but i said no need for that. She insisted so i took the money & box & put it in my safe. While i was gone cops came in got into the safe & only the safe. Took the box & the money & charged me & my girlfriend.
Thank you for sharing the details, Gary. Here are a few points regarding your situation:
- **Search and Seizure:** In Indiana, the Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures. If the police did not have a warrant or probable cause, evidence obtained might be challenged in court.
- **Possession Charges:** To convict, the prosecution must prove you had knowledge and control over the meth found.
- **Discovery:** If there's no video or audio evidence, this could be used in your defense.
For precise legal advice, consider contacting a defense attorney. Do you have any specific questions about your case or need further information on a particular aspect?
Paid a lawyer $* already. Finally got motion of discovery. My mom is the one he is to meet with & he hasnt contacted her. He came to see me one time with information that i had already gotten a week before from a friend. What do we do about this lawyer who isnt doing anything. I shouldn't be in here. There is no proof . No video no audio. Supposed malfunctioning of equipment
