What is the name of your state?Indiana

My guy friend made an agreement with my girlfriend, to have her write a check, and he would give her the money in two days to deposit in her account before the check cleared. In those two days she found out that I (her girlfriend) had slept with him and we are now expecting a baby. When he brought her the money she was still pissed, so she refused it and went to the police to file charges of check deception. Guilt or maybe fear took over her and she wrote a letter to the dectectives stating what had really happened. Her story had changed so many times that they said they were throwing out the letter. Yesterday they came and searched our house for the shirt and hat he was wearing when he spent the check. They are building their case but on what. He has priors and is currently on parole, but his lawyer says illegally. He should have spent 30 days consecutive to his DOC sentence, but they released him from DOC and put him on parole. I know that everyone says "he's changed" but really he did. He was doing so well and then the baby news came and he pushed it even more. No smart comments please all they do is frusterate me, I need to know what to expect before we go to court. He has a good lawyer I just hope that is enough.

I need to know what to expect before we go to court.

Expect hard seats. And brusque 'service'.

He has a good lawyer I just hope that is enough.

Okay. And we hope that justice is properly served.

She wrote the check to him and she signed it. If her signature matches the one at the bank or her DL, this is not a crime.

What exactly is she trying to claim? Deception? Can you elaborate?

Did he alter the check in any way?

more info......

She went to Meijer, said she had no idea who spent the check, they went to video servailance and his picture popped up. Then she filed a police report, I am not sure what charges they have put on him but I know that he has some pending. She signed the check the signature on the check and her everyday signature are close, I know she signed it I watched her do it, he put in the amount and made it out to Meijer.

What proof is there that he had "permission" to fill in the name and amount? I know you stated you witnessed it, but you are a biased witness. Anything else?

Something just doesn't sound right. I never give anyone a blank check that I just signed, although I know w/ others it occassionally happens. Is there any reason why he could not have taken a completely filled out check and deposited it into a checking account?

Get him an attorney quick.

She wrote a letter to the detectives stating that he had permission to use the check. She did it b/c she knows he's good for the money. She trusted him, he came through with the money but it was too late. He spent the check at Meijer we all knew that, I am not bias she signed it and handed him the whole book, she even got it back.

The signatures are "close"? Not close enough apparently. If she wrote him a check and he cashed it, even if he didn't pay her back when she promised, then nothing illegal happened that the police would be interested in. It would be a civil matter of an unpaid debt.

Let me clear something up

Okay she didn't write the check to him, it was addressed to Meijer. And Hamilton County is a horrible county to live in. They have nothing better to do than set people up for faliure. The detective on this case told me that he will do everything he could to put my guy back in prison. In this county, if you have priors, consider yourself done. I need some information, I know that someone out there has somthing useful.

 

[calatty]

Something useful? Like how to get intelligent judges and attorneys believe his lying story? Don't count on it.
