    Unhappy Civil Matter Turned Criminal With Potential Prison Sentence

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: colorado

    Im facing 2-12 years on a civil matter that the complaintant lied in his police statement making it a criminal matter over a dispute of 2,800.00. An investment he decided to break the terms of the arrangement and demanded the computers he invested in without payment for the 40 plus hours on said pc's. He refused contact from that point on leaving me in a financial crunch. I had no other choice but to sell pc's to compensate me for the loss of money i could have made in other work and pay my bills. He filed a police report and claimed i stole them from him. few facts..nothing in writing. He is a investor who didnt put terms in writing? I am naive and first time involvement in a arrangement like this. he stated i agreed to do 40 plus hours of work for 200.00 i can prove i charge 40 an hour.he stated I agreed to do 40 plus hours in a weeks time and keep in mind at the cost of what usually would be the bill on 1 or 2 pc's. In a prior arrangement to order parts i had access to 2 amex gold cards, if my intent was to steal from him credit cards with no limits would be alot easier and much bigger payoff. Do i have enough to mount a reasonable defense or am i just another who is guilty till proven innocent, or what it feels like guilty until i buy my innocense... im a sole providor of a wife and three beautiful kids with the latest born last week. Am i just too broke to be found innocent?

    If he owed you money you should have sued him to recover the money. Apparently you instead are accused of stealing or embezzling computers for which he was either the full or partial owner - you didn't explain that part.

    You should refine your case with your criminal defense lawyer, based upon the full facts of hte case and whatever crime it is that you're charged with having committed.
