Wait, so you did take the pills and the $100, but as a joke? Or you didn't take at all?

And you definitely need a legit attorney's advice on this, but I'm pretty sure that while charges are pending against you the school can suspend you.
 
after you are found innocent id sue the *(&#$(#&*#($&#($ outta that school.
 
I don't know man, I wanna give you the full benefit of the doubt, but it seems like there has to be something more than what you're letting on if theDA actually took the time, effort, and resources to go through with this case. DAs are also attorneys that don't like to lose, so I don't know why theywould throw this at you if you could so easily defeat it. But even if it is, again, I think the school has a right to suspend you indefinitely if you arecharged with a crime, and definitely until you are exonerated or have served your sentence.
 
Colleges being private institutions and all, they can pretty much do whatever they want.

It sounds like theyre set on how to handle you, regardless of whether you beat the case or not.

Might be time to start looking into a transfer to a different college.

Baruch is a public school.

Fair enough.

At this point though, after hearing that the school plans on throwing the book at dude, id still look into a transfer.

Listen, I fully understand if you don't believe me. Most people think I'm lying. From what I understand, the cops viewed the videotape at school but didn't take a copy. I was arrested Wednesday at 12:00 pm and I remember at the precinct the cop was asking how you reference a videotape that they don't have possession of. After that, I was sent to central bookings downtown and I got out yesterday morning at 11:00. I don't believe the DA saw the videotape prior to the arraignment, they just read the statement of the guy accusing me. I didn't waive my rights so I didn't speak to the police at all so they have no statement from me.


Dude, I am not accusing you of lying at all, I'm just saying maybe there are other circumstances that may be relevant to the case. And I don't doubtthat you didn't do anything, I doubt that the DA would take such a flimsy case on such thin evidence. All that said, I don't think it makes adifference. There are bright-line rules for this sort of thing, for obvious reasons. If colleges allowed people accused of violent crimes to attend pendingverdict, then a lot of students would obviously feel unsafe and complain and they would lose tuition. As a result, some innocent people like yourself get theshort end of the stick. If anything, you might be able to use this as a great personal statement topic later on when you're exonerated. But as for resumingcollege now, I'm pretty sure it's out of the question. Look at it from the Dean's point of view.
 
After you beat your case, start a case with Baruch. Especially if you're black (racial ties.)
 
good luck with this mess your in. depending on your actions on that tape, the school could build its own case on why not to have you there without you doinganything "illegal".
 
So i don't understand what you're asking? You're basically saying that you have been charged w/ a crime that you didnt' commit... which happensa lot... no big deal. If your lawyers think you're going to get out, why are you trippen?

if your issue you're asking about is w/ the school and whether or not you can do anything about it, you can't. Public or private school, they havetheir own set of disciplinary rules that they are allowed to enforce, guilty or not. The fact that the police had to come, escort you out, and question youputs a HUGE seed of doubt in the people's minds that saw what went down (as far as you being arrested/charged.) No one wants to go to school with someonethat is a (suspected) thief. And as an institution, they do not want to be regarded in that light... meaning allowing students to go to that school who canPOTENTIALLY be criminals.

With that said, they can kick you out of school w/OUT being charged/convicted of any crime. I promise it has happened before at MANY other schools, includingthe one you're attending... and past case law will prevail.

Good luck!
 
The only reason I could see you not wanting to share the entire story is because you don't want to incriminate yourself. That being said, good luck.Baruch, being a public school, probably will not be able to expel you or suspend you indefinitely if you are found not guilty. However, being found not guiltydoesn't mean you're innocent. It means that there wasn't enough evidence to convict. Usually, the fact that the DA is going this far would meanthat in a general sense, there was enough probably cause to take the case to trial.

I hope everything works out. If Baruch tries to pull something after you are (hopefully) found not guilty, then I would file a suit against them. However,regardless, I would still look into transferring like 206 said, just because of the stigma that something like this carries. Things will never be the samethere again. That would also hold some weight in a court of law if and when you are able to file a suit against Baruch.

Good Luck Sir.

Really? There are a lot of qualifiers missing from that statement. So anyone that has ever been charged with a crime and exonerated is not innocent and onlygot away due to a lack of evidence? We have never had an innocent defendant in our courts?
