Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio

felonious Assault

my husband has been indicted on felonious assault charges. The ''victim'' in this matter has contacted me and said if I give him $2500 he will tell the prosecuter the truth, and that is my husband is not the person who assaulted him. this ''victim'' has called my cell phone 68 times in the last 15 days. This ''victim'' has also told me about how he had to pay off his sons accusers to get his son off of a attempted murder charge? The ''victim'' I am speaking of is also on federal parole at this time.

what should I do? I am very confused in Akron Ohio

Re: felonious Assault

You need to give the information to your husband's attorney and let him decide what to do. Most likely he will want to talk directly to the prosecuting attorney aoout this. You should not talk the victm without legal counsel helping you with this. You do not want the Victim claiming that you tried to bribe him-that is a crime by itself and you and your husband could both end up in jail.

You recognize that your husband is in need of an experienced criminal attorney. Good legal representation is usually expensive but necessary if he is going to get anything coming close to justice.

I will be happy to discuss this with you in more detail if you want to call. No charge or obligation for the call. Whatever you decide, do not offer any money to the victim and be aware that it is not unusual for people to record telephone conversations-also be aware that email is NOT private!

Give me a call.

Good Luck!
