Re: wrongly accused

It happens all the time. But when you go to trial, what matters is not what is in that police report but what is on the tape. If you have been wrongfully accused of a crime, it is imperative that you talk to an experienced criminal defense lawyer immediately. You need to take aggressive steps to start planning your defense, or you may find yourself with a criminal conviction for something you didn't even do.
