What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Pa.
I've read the definition of criminal solicitation, it's pretty straight forward. However, the one section of the definition is the section on intent.
Let me explain my story and perhaps someone can clarify.
My furnace at my house burned out so I had a plumber take a look at it. After a brief look he mentioned to me thatt it its too bad my house didnt burn down and I responded that it isnt too bad the entire neighborhood didnt burn down.
The next day I replaced this plumber with someone I knew who was doing it at a better price. Our job was legit, we had permits etc..well, the old plumber gets pissed off and goes to the police making a statement that I had my house rigged to blow uo the neighbors house. 2 days later I was arrested on criminal solicitation to commit a catastrophe.
Do any of the experienced members of the board believe these charges will hold?
