Does a non-violent 3rd degree crime carry jail time?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jennifer Leigh Gottschalk (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Richard Sparaco
If your son has no prior convictions as an adult (and at 18 he is only just now considered an adult), then he enjoys a presumption of non-incarceration under the New Jersey Criminal Code. When I say "non-incarceration," I am referring to a presumption of no state prison. In my experience, most judges throughout New Jersey would likewise not sentence a first-time offender like your son to county jail time.

I am being asked to take a polygraph pertaining to a theft investigation. I have not been arrested. Am I entitled to a court-appointed lawyer prior to being actually arrested?

Jeralyn Elise Merritt
Answered by attorney Jeralyn Elise Merritt (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Jeralyn E. Merritt
Unfortunately, if you are not in custody, the answer is no. The Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right . . . to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence. Article I, paragraph 10 of the New Jersey Constitution (where you are from) provides the same right. The Sixth Amendment right to counsel does not attach until criminal proceedings have been initiated against you. The law does not provide for counsel during the pre-charging investigatory stage, unless you are in custody. This means that until there is a formal charge, preliminary hearing, indictment, information, or arraignment, there is no right to counsel. If you have not been charged with a crime, and are not in custody, you are taking a big risk if you submit to an interview or polygraph with the police. Anything you say can be used against you. If you do not pass the polygraph, you will increase the chances that charges will be filed against you. Polygraphs have not been proven scientifically reliable, and investigators often use them as a tool to induce you to make incriminating statements, rather than to determine if you are telling the truth. Your best bet is to politely decline the polygraph and any interview and then consult with a criminal defense lawyer in your area who can advise you as to what to do next. If you are without funds, you might try calling your local bar association to see if you qualify for free legal advice to assist you in making pre-charging decisions. Most courts will not appoint counsel to indigent persons until a criminal case has been commenced or at the very least, until he or she is in custody. Also, I caution you against waiving any of your rights and speaking with the investigator. Once you voluntarily waive your rights, anything you say can and will be used against you. Very few people are successful at talking their way out of being arrested or charged with a crime.
