What is the name of your state? Ca
My husband is military & being charged with theft of govenment property. The thing is that we bought the tools at yard sales & flea markets. The officers are asking for recipts -- who gives a recipt at a yard sale??? I don't even remember where these yard sales were. It has been over a period of 3 years. In hind sight I guess we should have looked more closly to what we were buying, but it never accurd to us then. I guess my question now is what do we do? Are we still liable? The officers came to our house apon invitation from my husband -- he didn't know that they were stolen. They found some stuff that belonged to the military at one time & was marked as such. To me it all seems surcomstantial, but is that enough for the military? What is the difference in Civilian Law? Can he be charged on both? The military has given him a JAG lawyer, should we get a civilian one too?
