    Default Depositing Counterfeit Money Orders

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: North Carolina

    I received conterfiet money orders through the mail did not know they were counterfiet. The money oders were through Walmart Financial Services, therefore I went to my local Walmart and shopped plus cash the other money order. The total was $2000.00, this all happened on a Friday I was leaving on Sunday to start a new job in another state on Monday. All this took place in March 2005. My daughter called me and stated the police was looking for me in June 2005. I told her to give him my cell phone number since my company had me staying in a hotel until I found an apartment. To make a long story short I never spoke with the police. I came home in July getting ready to leave was filling my car at gas station, I was stopped told there was a warrant for my arrest. Drove myself to the police department was told my charge which was obtaining property under false pretense and larcency. When I went to trial I told my lawyer I pled quilty to cashing the money orders but I did not intentionally do anything I did not know the money orders was counterfiet but I was guilty of cashing the money orders. This is on my record and I would like to have it removed, I tried to get a part-time job and was not hired because of my record. I've never taken anything from anyone, I realized after everything was over this was doing the time when people were scamming other people by sending counterfiet money orders and the person was out of money plus had a record. Please tell me what I need to do.

    I was not selling anything, they were supposely a gift for my daughther and I. I know I was crazy but times was difficult at that time for us, therefore I was happy to receive assistance. I thought it was a blessing but now I know it was a game to someone and heartache for me. I only know the charge was obtaining property under false pretense and larcency. I was so afraid and nervous that I was thankful to be walking out the courtroom. My lawyer told the judge I pled guilty to a lesser charge. I was 45 years old at that time had never been before a judge for anything besides trying to collect child support, therefore I really did not undertand the proceedings nor the conequences.

    Who gave you these money orders? Were you supposed to do anything other than deposit them?

    Did the person who made the "gift" get arrested and prosecuted as well? If not, why not?
