Can a first-time offender charged with embezzling $30k+ avoid jail and a tarnished record?

You may be able to avoid jail but you will likely end up with a criminal record. Retain a good criminal defense lawyer.

He needs to get a lawyer. And if the Detective is telling him to get a lawyer, he certainly needs to get a lawyer. If he can't afford a lawyer, he has a right to have one appointed to represent him. Although I don't represent him and don't know the specific facts of his case, I think any lawyer would recommend that your friend not talk to police or anyone else about this. Also, consent is no defense to "statutory" or 2nd degree rape, which involves sex with a minor, so he should stop telling anyone that she consented.

Can a DUI charge be dropped after nine years?

Answered by attorney Joseph Briscoe Dane (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Joe Dane
The statute of limitations only has to do with how long the DA has to file charges. Assuming they filed within one year of the incident, they met the statute of limitations. Having said that, they must also make efforts to get you into court. If a warrant was issued years ago, but they made no attempts to serve it and you were easily findable (living in the same place, registering your cars, updating your address with the DMV, had traffic tickets without this warrant popping up, etc.), then your attorney should be looking into a motion to dismiss the case - a Serna motion. Your attorney will know all about this or at least they should.
