What is the name of your state?
New Jersey
My two sons (both under 16) were with two friends when the two friends committed acts of vandalism. The entered a school and damaged property. My sons did not participate in any of this but they did see some of what the other two did - not all because the other two had entered a building. While it was going one son called a friend from his cellphone and told her that the other two were doing it and they were idiots but there was nothing he could do to stop them. Now all four of them have been charged with the same crimes. There is no evidence to link my sons to any of the activity that occurred in the building and the police acknowledge that they were not in there. However, they are saying that they are equally guilty. I am very upset about this because my sons did not get caught up in this and yet they are being treated as if they also did it. What are the odds of getting these charges against them dismissed? Would the testimony of the person my son spoke to on his cellphone help. She knows all of them and is equally friendly with all of them. She would have no reason to lie for my sons against the other two boys.
