Can the charges filed against my husband for robbery, burglary and carjacking be sucessfully defended?
A guy we knew said he would get a ride for my husband to go back and pick up property from the house we’d been renting a room in. The 2 people who took him there came in the closed door behind him with a gun and robbed the resident, taking her car. They held a gun on him too but he got a chance to run and he took it. He was under the influence and I took him to the hospital for treatment within hours of the incident, not knowing it really happend and wasn’t a paranoid delusion of his. He has been clean and in treatment since but just recently arrested on charges above.

These are very serious felony charges in which your husband can be subjected to a substantial prison term if found guilty. He will need an experienced criminal defense attorney for representation. If he cannot afford counsel, the Judge can appoint a attorney for him.
