Dear Troubled Parent:  Your Son is now being charged wityh serious crimes, with potential jail time in years.  If he is truly not guilty, and has a valid alibi, retain an experienced Attorney ASAP to defend his rights.  If you cannot afford an Attorney, ccntact Legal Aid at 216-687-1900 for a Legal Aid Attorney.

Good luck!  Sincerely, J. Norman Stark. 

Your son needs a lawyer to defend him on these charges.  I'm not an Ohio lawyer, but any charge that includes "aggravated" in the name is serious trouble.  If he can't afford a lawyer, he needs to be very sure to do everything that is necessary to get a court-appointed attorney.

From what you've written, the case has only gone through arraignment (formally reading charges to the accused), which is why no evidence has been presented against him yet.  Once your son has a lawyer, it's possible that the bail could be reduced.
