Asked 8/6/2016 – San Antonio, TX

My son’s was riding with a friend and the friend is pulled over by police, they search the car the driver has a gun under his seat and in a bag on the passenger side that also had a gun inside. The charge the driver of the car the gun on his side, and charge the gun in the bag to my son even after the gun was dusted for finger prints and DNA which was negative toward my son. He was charge with a felon in possession of a firearm.
How should I pursue?

Answer

The fact there were no fingerprints or other DNA from your son on the gun will not exonerate him. The best defense would be if your son’s fiend stepped up and claimed both guns were his AND your son had no knowledge that there was a gun under his seat. You will probably have to set this matter for trial before it will be dismissed. Start talking with defense attorneys.
