What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Westchester, New York
My loved one was arrested in July 2011 and charged with conspiracy. From the beginning they maintained that they were charged with the wrong thing because they acted alone. Last week their codefendent (who was only the driver) was found not guilty on all charges. The week before my loved ones lawyer forced them into copping to a guilty plea because of the evidence against them. In open court even the judge said that was not the right charge if they acted alone. My loved one now wants to retrack the guilty plea because there is no codefendent to support the conspiracy charge. The lawyer claims my love done has no chance in court because of the evidence against them. Is the lawyer acting in my loved ones best interest and as a professional what would be your next steps as a professional?
