My friend was arrested in Virginia and is awaiting extradition to Louisville Kentucky.
The situation is a massive mess and I need to find help including a criminal defense attorney for him.
He is accused of arson, which he did not do. The guilty party has been arrested and is awaiting his court date. However, my friends attorney has caused irreprial (spelling?) damage to my friend by the following facts.
1. He told my friend to leave the state (and the state attorney has confirmed that his attorney infact did tell him to leave the state.)
2. My friend had no way to contact the attorney, since the attorney insisted that only he would contact my friend. The attorney failed to notify him that he was supposed to make a court appearance this past week, when my friend was arrested in Virginia. (The state attorney also told my friend that he needed a new attorney since it all sounded fishy knowing the info in #1 as well as #2.)
3. The failure of his attorney in number 2 has caused him to be charged with Failure To Appear and they have also added the charge of "Persistent Felony Offender" to the list.
My friend went to court this morning for his extradition hearing and voluntarily waved his right to an attorney and also to voluntarily go back to Kentucky. The judge told my friend that they (circuit court) was on the phone with Lousiville and they said that they were NOT coming to virginia to bring him back. After 10 days he would be released and then he would have to call the Louisville police, state attorney and the Circuit Court to set a date for him to appear. Apparently more lies told to us (his mother and myself).
I came home and called the commonwealth attorneys office in Louisville, only to be transferred to a detective. The detective informed me that they were infact coming to extradite my friend back to kentucky within the 10 day period.
I hate to see my phone bill, but it is all worth it, to clear my friend of the wrongful charges against him.
I, my friend and his mother need help and to find an attorney who is willing to cut through the red tape and not trying to railroad my friend at reasonable costs.
I keep praying, but I realize that is not going to be enough. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Please help me keep an innocent man out of jail/prison.
Thank you.
