Legal Question in Criminal Law in Missouri

You should be able to find many criminal depesne attorneys in your area. In the mean time, tell the school Officer that your Son is waiting to consult with an attorney before giving any statements. That is unless the school officer can get the prosecutor to give your Son use immunity.

Good luck

I handle juvenile and drug issues. I would not advise your son to make any statement until I have had a chance to review the evidence and talk with the persons involved. Although the Supreme Court has held that school authorities have wide leeway in dealing with security issues, that does not mean that they can abrogate your child's rights under MO juvenile law not to incriminate himself. Feel free to email me if you want to discuss this further.
