Offering Forged or Fraudulent Evidence
What does the law say?
This law is fairly straightforward…
Any person who, upon any trial, proceedings, inquiry or investigation whatever, authorized by law, offers in evidence, as genuine, any book, paper, document, record, or other instrument in writing, knowing the same to have been forged, or fraudulently altered, shall be guilty of a felony and shall be punished in the same manner as the forging or false alteration of such instrument is made punishable by the provisions of this title.
What can I do about this charge?
There are a lot of arguments to be had. There can be some sketchy science regarding the authentication of certain documents and it is necessary to ensure that every effort has been made to determine whether a document is genuine or not. Don’t let yourself get bullied and pushed around. Let us dig deeper and aggressively confront officers and expert witnesses about the accuracy of their technology and procedures. Let us fight for you!
Legal Concerns?
Stay safe and stay silent. You have the right to defense and you should always take full advantage of that right. A felony conviction carries a stigma that can harm your employment or cause you trouble in civil or family law matters. Without proper representation, the State can set you up for failure that could cause lots of inconvenience and unnecessary aggravation. Let us set you up for success!
