After a domestic violence attack my friend took her boyfriends gun and left the apartment. because she feared for her life.
He was arrested for domestic violence and his gun was still in the apartment. THe cops knew there was a gun. She was suppose to return it to the police but she just put it in the storage unitl with everything else and forgot about it. She was asked to bring it back, she did and now the guy is saying it’s not his. We think he’s just trying to get her in trouble. She did nothing wrong and the cops won’t listen to her. they are saying she will be arrested for gun theft. we need to stop this at the pass. Please what can we do.

Well, if you want to help your friend, immediately hire a criminal defense attorney who specializes in victims' rights and domestic violence issues. Try www.attorneypages.com.
Do not wait; again, do not wait. Oftentimes the police do not pay attention to the implications unless they are trained in domestic violence considerations and issues. Immediately call a lawyer. This is the best you can help. Do not call the police - it will only serve to aggrevate.
