WickedGoogly asked:


I am taking a few classes on law and we have to write a scenario for a legal situation and the other classmates have to figure the answer so I need to know say the scenario is this..
A civilian works at a commissary or PX on base,the said person steals 3 grand from the cash register but they are unable to prove it,question the said person then give that person their final paycheck,tell the person to stick around town and not to leave.The said person stays in town for two months and no one contacts them.Ten years have passed since the said crime and that said person has moved on,living a clean life,working full time and never commits another crime .Does the Navy/Army have a statute of limitations on finding this person and prosecuting them for said crime??

When a prosecutor tells a judge “this will get resolved b4 trial” is this good in the defendants favor?

My lawyer brought up the term “Brady Material”. When he did this the prosecutor acted as if he was on his side. Now this is a case where there originally was a co-defendant whose mother worked for the clerk of courts. His sister also is a county sheriff. When it came time for indictments the grand jury sent him back to lower court and charged me for a felony. The last six months I have spent in worry of losing my family and going to prison for something that was totally not my fault. Last Monday was supposed to be the final day for plea agreement however, when my lawyer presented some information to the prosecutor from preliminary hearing the prosecutor quickly changed his tone. You see in the prelims the “victim” testified the other guy hit him. And then stated we both beat him. The police report states the victim was uncooperative and told them he fell. Well when charges were filed the co-defendant quickly went with his father to people that werent even there to get them to side with him and against me. What he didn’t know is that the only other guy to see it is on my side. I was smart enough to have the co defendant type and sign a statement the next day of the incident to cover my **** in case this happened.

Since prelims the “victim” has also changed his story to match the co-defendants witnesses stories. Because everything is documented will he be liable for perjury? Also if they do an investigation and determine the codefendant recruited witnesses what will then happen?

Will I be okay?
Steven F no need to be a ****!!! I am obviously not looking for the perfect answer just opinions. If I were looking for solid legal advice I don’t think I would be on here doing so. A person would have to be a moron to think that.

I have to write a paper and come up with a prevention program for delinquent youths, more specifically gang members. Is there any current programs like this that emphasize sports, so I can research them? Thanks
