Arizona: Over a year ago my fiance cashed to checks for a friend, the friend had lost his wallet, had no ID and was in a dire financial state. My fiance, Bill, cashed his friends 2 checks that he had, he went to the bank that issued the checks and used his own ID and put his fingerprint on the check. Since then the 2 had a falling out and are no longer buddies. Last mo. (jan) the police came arrested Bill, on 1 charge, 2 counts of forgery. Bill only endorsed the checks so signed his own name so that is not forgery. the DA is "amending the charge to fit the crime", but havent told us what that is? Aiding and Abetting? Since his arrest Bill was released to pre-trial services. But since he was arrested in the first place and was on probation for a drug charge, he was charged with probation violation (cant go to jail while on probation). He turned himself in for prob. violation, but now is being held until his court date 3/11/02. His probation will be reinstated but not until he is sentenced for the forgery crime. What could they charge him with now? What are the consequences?? He has cooperated with police and gave him the name of the "friend" who gave him the checks. by the way checks totalled around $2000.00. He would never cash 2 stolen checks using his own ID knowingly, and he knew his fingerprints were on file because of his being on probation. We dont know what to do and i cant afford an attorney, he was our sole supporter, already lost our home, can anyoney shed some light???
