What is the name of your state?
Iowa

Hi i am a 22 year old from a small town in iowa. i recently have been chared with 3rd Degree burglery and 2nd degree theft, here is my story

Two of my so called friends robbed a bar using my car. I was unaware of the robbery until later on. Two months later one of the people involved in my case robbed the same bar again and got caught. He snitched on everyone that was involved and that knew about the robber. and neon bar sign was stolen and then sold to my boyfriend. The guy that snitched, told the cops were to find the light, so they retrieved the light. Also this guy is already on probabtion! CAN THEY USE HIS STATMENT? In the meantime they got a search warrent for my car, and they only thing they found in my car was a Baby Ruth Candy Bar Raper?? Also i was not present during the search, they towed my car to impound, and then left a phone number for me to reach the cops. i called them that day and they asked me to come to the police station, to answer a few questions and then they would release info about my car. I went to talk to them they told me what was going on and asked me to write a statment against the people who robbed the bar! I was not present at the time of the robbery so my statment would be false. I asked if i was under arrest or anything, they said no, i told them i didn't want to talk until i talked to an attorney, they then escorted me out and told me there would be warrents for my arrest later. 4 months later i got arrested, and had to spend 10 days in county jail, bond was 19.500 cash only, and i am now out on pretrail release, i have a court appointed lawyer, which i know nothing about him? ANY ADVICE FOR ME??? AM I IN THE WRONG? OR ARE THEY??
thank you

I love it ... snitches "suck". I'll bet if it was YOUR stuff that got stolen you'd be praising the person that dropped the dime.


Two of my so called friends robbed a bar using my car. I was unaware of the robbery until later on.
Oh? They stole your car? or do you regularly just loan it out like that?


He snitched on everyone that was involved and that knew about the robber. and neon bar sign was stolen and then sold to my boyfriend. The guy that snitched, told the cops were to find the light, so they retrieved the light.
Oops. Possession of stolen property ... could be bad.


Also this guy is already on probabtion! CAN THEY USE HIS STATMENT?
Sure. Why wouldn't they be able to? He freely gave it. Unless they coerced it out of him AND the statement provided evidence against the person who made it, then it's good. Your boyfriend would have no standing to challenge the consent of the statement anyway. And challenging it by saying it was false would be tough ... considering it gave away the location of the stolen property.


In the meantime they got a search warrent for my car, and they only thing they found in my car was a Baby Ruth Candy Bar Raper?? Also i was not present during the search, they towed my car to impound, and then left a phone number for me to reach the cops.
Perfectly lawful. They do not need you to be present ... and it makes for a better chain of custody to do it where there are not prying eyes. Or would you rather that CSI (or whatever the local cops did) be done in full view of all the neighbors?


I went to talk to them they told me what was going on and asked me to write a statment against the people who robbed the bar! I was not present at the time of the robbery so my statment would be false.
Then you refuse, or write something like, "I wasn't there," and add, "but so-and-so told me that ..." But, more likely you'd say you know nothing.


i am now out on pretrail release, i have a court appointed lawyer, which i know nothing about him? ANY ADVICE FOR ME??? AM I IN THE WRONG? OR ARE THEY??
It sounds like you may have a tough path to follow here. However, making the arrest is easier than making a conviction. They will still have to prove your knowledge and complicity in the crime. Whether they can do that or not only your attorney can say.

From the sound of things, nothing unlawful was done. But, again, only your attorney can assess the case.

And you are likely in deep doo-doo.

Sorry.

I thought it was a kinder, gentler version of the standard rap music.

Staring "Baby Ruth", must be a kids band. Perhaps the candy bar raper should be in the juvenile law section?

ok - then MY mind must be in the gutter - because I read that as RAPEr - not raPPer - and I thought OMG - how does one rape a candy bar ?

I thought the same thing... a candy bar assaulting another... which reminds me of a lovely story....


One PAYDAY, MR. GOODBAR wanted a BIT O'HONEY, so he took Miss HERSHEY'S behind the Powerhouse on the corn of CLARK and 5TH AVENUE. He began to feel her MOUNDS with his BUTTERFINGER. That was pure ALMOND JOY. It made her TOOTSIE ROLLS and he let out a SNICKERS as she screamed OH HENRY! while squeezing his PETER PAUL. She said, "You are even better than the 3 MUSKETEERS." Soon she was a bit CHUNKY. The result came 9 months later: the sweet BABY RUTH.
