I was charged with battery and tampering with witness preventing from calling the police

Diane Buerger
Answered by attorney Diane Buerger
Criminal Law lawyer at The Buerger Law Firm, P.A.
There are too many unknowns to adequately respond to your question.  However, the charges are serious enough that I urge you to retain an attorney to represent you.  The attorney should be able, after reviewing the probable cause affidavit and other documents, to give you a fair idea of whether you have a strong defense, your options, and what to expect from the state. If you are unable, financially, to retain a private attorney, you are entitled to have an attorney appointed to represent you.  If you go to court without an attorney, I recommend before responding in any way, that you tell the judge you cannot afford an attorney and would like one appointed to represent you.  Assuming the judge appoints an attorney, he/she should be able to answer your questions and give you an idea of what to expect.

Can one be arrested for Solicitation merely for having their credit card on file?

Harley Ives Gutin
Answered by attorney Harley Ives Gutin
Criminal Law lawyer at Gutin Wolverton
They can try and charge you but how would they prove it was the same person who gave the information (credit card)? Unless there was more proof a witness stating she or he was propositioned and maybe images (video or camera) the case would be very weak. Besides wouldn't the payment be just for a massage!

Should I take a polygraph even if I knowing innocent?

George Lawrence Sandefer
Answered by attorney George Lawrence Sandefer (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Sandefer Law Firm
First, I would recommend that you call a criminal defense attorney in your county or town.  Most of the time I would recommend to a person not to take a polygraph but there are exceptions.  Generally a polygraph can not be used in court  either way, and law enforcement sometimes uses it as a tool to get someone to talk or even sometimes to make them think they failed and that they should admit something.  Things like these that may or may not apply to your situation are things you really should talk with an attorney about instead of making a decision on your own that could have far reaching consequences. I can not give you any individual advice on your question other than to contact a criminal defense attorney in your area with the specifics of your situation.
