What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
A few years back in May 2008 i was in possession of a couple stolen credit cards that i used to purchase various things like TV's, computers, iPods, and other expensive electronics. I had a friend with me when i was at the store to purchase all the items. He knew everything that was going on and came along to help me. After we purchased the items we stored them at his house. When i got caught and arrested, the police had surveillance photos of us at the register, walking out the door together, and photos of the car we were in. After i was arrested, we went strait to his house, where they confiscated all the items. I was prosecuted but he was not. I did 3 years in state prison for that and he didn't even get charged with a crime. When i was talking to my lawyer i asked him if he had been arrested or charged and his response was "They don't want him they only want you." I think this is unacceptable that the state just chose to ignore his role in the crimes and put all the fall on me. Is there anything i can do?
