Question: I just found out today after letting a friend stay the night at my house that she was wanted and am now trying to be pursued charges for aiding and bedding a wanted person. i had no idea that she was even wanted, can they still pursue these charges? if so, what can i do to get out of this since i had no clue what was going on?

Answer: The fact that you write that you had no ideas not going to change anything for the prosecutor. Let us imagine for a second that you absolutely knew that your friend was a fugitive. What would you say to the prosecutor? You would say, I had no idea, because if you say I have no idea, maybe the charges will be dismissed. So, irrespective of whether you knew or not, the prosecutor expects you to say that you did not know. Ergo, your saying you didn't know doesn't mean anything. I suspect that you need to get the "right" attorney. Hiring an attorney that has no reputation for trying cases will lead to a plea. Hiring an attorney that has a reputation for trying cases, may lead to a dismissal.
