I bought a truck off a friend, fixed it and was taking payments from same friend to have him buy it back. He was 3/4 paid off and we lend money to each other all the time no problem. I gave him the signed title but he did not transfer it. He and his roomate had a party and someone else stole it and commited fleeing and eluding felony 3rd degree. I know who it was that commited the crime and told the police within days. The detective in charge told me it was my responcibility to have the witnesses come in and make statements or she will just charge me and let the courts settle it. This is after I told her who it was, where it was taken from, who the witnesses are, where to find them (the witnesses). Worse off I even came in with a witness once (they're all scared of the guy who did it, honestly I am too but not enough to take a felony I didn't do.) but the police refused to take a statement without the detective in charge there and I can no longer convince this witness to come in on her own.
I changed my address 2 weeks before the end of june (my b-day) and the paperwork was filed in mid july yet the detective sent it to the wrong house. I did not find out that the charges were acually filed until I went into my unrelated probation meeting where I was supposed to be released for sucessfully completing my probation without a single violation only to find out I had a felony warrent. I was lucky that my p.o. let me walk out the door especially because my actual p.o. retired days before that and get a lawyer and turn my self in instead of the next city over picking me up instantly which is somthing I think the detective was trying to do. (have me not know about the warrent and get picked up before I had my lawyer)
is what this detective doing legal?
Also my lawyer told me 750 to defend me I paid and after 2nd court apperence which was nothing more than a delay of court procedings (he also showed up late) he wants 750 more because "he thought I was kidding when I said it was a felony and his normal rate is 3000 for felony cases so he's giving me a deal at half off because its his mistake."
I'm scared I'm going to be a first time felon for somthing I didn't do. And I can't afford to have my lawer change his mind whenever he wants about how much money he wants. (where's the limit)
Warning: be scared of livonia they care more about conviction numbers than acually convicting the right person.
