What is the name of your state? Michigan
My son received a letter in the mail, stating there was a warrant out for his arrest for malicious destruction of property. He went and turned himself in and they gave him a court date, tomorrow.
He and his friends knocked down several signs in a residential construction zone. It is on camera.
Tomorrow is the arraignment. We have never had any legal problems before.
I understand that they will read him the charges, his rights and will ask for a plea. What should we do??????
Every job applications asks have you every been charged with a crime. Is his life ruined forever??
We don't have the money for an attorney.
Does anyone talk to you before hand or does this all happen in the court room?
He is 19 and a little slow and very shy.
