Possession Charge Defense Strategy

Hey Kayla! What legal issue are you dealing with today? Let me know how I can assist you.
I was charged with a possession charge that was not my stuff. The person I was with put it in my purse before he got taken to jail on a warrant and is now serving prison time. He is willing to write an affidavit claiming it was his but I need to get it notarized from him in prison how do I do this
Hey Kayla, getting a document notarized from someone in prison can be a bit tricky but it's doable. Here’s a general approach:
- Contact the prison where the person is incarcerated. They often have a notary available or can guide you on how to proceed.
- Arrange for the affidavit to be written and signed by the person in prison.
- Coordinate with the prison’s notary or an external notary allowed by the prison for notarization.
