What is the name of your state? Maine
Recently my son was accused of being involved in a robbery that he had no part of. He was able to give an alibi but in doing so incriminated himself. His license was currently under suspension but during giving his statement admitted that he drove to an appointment (which was verified). Now they have summonsed him on driving after suspension even though he was never given a ticket or stopped by an officer. Obviously he should not have been driving but can they use this information that he gave in his statement against him?? He was also told that he was not entitled to a court appointed attorney because he had incriminated himself. He does not have money to hire a lawyer so any legal advice any of you can give would be greatly appreciated. The judge granted him a two week continuance before he has to appear in court.
Thank you and have a great day!!
