What is the name of your state? tx
3 weeks ago a friend was arrested in saginaw(tarrant county)
trying to spend a bad 50. i had seen it previously when asked if
i thought it was bad. at first glance it was fine however upon close inspection it was obviously different than normal. he said he was going to spend it anyway and i thought "might as well"
that turned out to be the wrong answer and i was shocked to learn how wrong. he got the bill as change from a garage sale(actually an estate sale) and denied that he suspected it was bad.
i would have accepted it had i not been told to inspect it thoroughly. there is only the state charge against him, nothing federal at all. isnt that supposed to be a federal crime?
by the letter of the law he was wrong but i feel responsible to a degree. the prosecution has to prove " knowingly with intent to defraud" . how can he win this case? all he had was that bill, no outstanding warrants, no trouble of any kind. whats to be expected as the states attempt at proof? any advice would be greatly appreciated.
