Hello! Thanks for using JustAnswer. My name is ***** ***** I am an attorney for more than 35 years ready to answer your questions with top-quality service. Just a few quick notes before we get started:

I’m sorry to hear you are having these problems with your legal issue. I know that can be frustrating. But we can get this resolved quickly;

There may be a slight delay in my responses. Your patience is greatly appreciated..

The information provided is general information, no attorney client privilege exists.

After reviewing everything it seems all they have is circumstantial evidence at best, ***** ***** that enough to get a conviction if so why and how?

The state here has to prove up the crimes beyond a reasonable doubt if it goes to trial. I will tell you that many of these cases settle with plea deals because of the seriousness of the crimes. If all they have is circumstantial evidence your lawyer may be able to raise reasonable doubt. But many of these cases lack any witness that observed the crime other than the victim. It may come down to who the judge or jury believe. Witness credibility can be crucial.

Does that clarify your situation, thanks?

Maybe your lawyer can counter for less years here, but this is serious so he has hard decisions to make.

If you are able to hire a lawyer as opposed to a court appointed one that would be the best thing you can do. Not sure if that is possible.
