Hi I have a question from a person in new york
Im going to try to shorten a long story and skip to the "stolen credit card" the police found on a person during a drug arrest. Basicly a man let the person hold on to a credit card as some sort of a collateral. It was found on the person after the arrest for drugs found in car and on person. (7 misdemeanors for intial arrest) But one class D felony 4th degree possession of stolen property with a signed statment from owner stating that the card was stolen, no authorization is given to said person to use credit card. (but never attemped to use card)
Does the person have any grounds to fight this charge?
