You should not talk to anyone about your case except your criminal defense attorney. The police and prosecutors will seek information from anyone you know to reach a conviction. Although you may think that you are proving yourself innocent, the prosecution will use your own words against you. Anything you say to anyone about your case can be used against you in court. Even if you speak with an inmate while being held in jail, that information can be used in court. Contact a criminal defense attorney in Lafayette to start discussing your case and building a solid defense.
