News stories recounting criminal raids or arrests can certainly paint a bleak picture for defendants in Nebraska. However, is is important for people facing these charges to remember that the media is all about trying to get ratings and views so they produce content that may entice this result. That means some stories do not include all of the facts known in a case as that might change the perception of the reader to be less enticing.
One man from Lincoln today will want to keep that in mind if he happens to get wind of any stories about his recent arrest. The man is currently in jail facing multiple charges including some for possession of cocaine, a destructive device and drug money. Other charges allege he delivered or tried to deliver both pot and MDMA. Forensic testing is said to be underway and depending upon the results of that testing, the defendant may end up being charged with additional offenses.
All of this activity comes on the heels of a raid at the man's home. While details of items found at the home make things look bad for him what is not known is what led to the raid and whether or not other people may have been involved in the activities he is said to be part of. Details like those may change what one thinks about a situation.
Talking to a lawyer after being charged with multiple felony crimes may give people the chance to talk about all of the facts with someone who can advocate for them.
