Your first priority should be to hire a lawyer and tell your dad to NOT SAY A SINGLE WORD until the lawyer gets there.

Well I am in the airport now. Hopefully my Dad has kept quiet. Will get a lawyer ASAP, (does anyone know if these legal fees will be tax deductable?)

Criminal defense legal fees are most certainly not tax deductible. You aren't thinking straight right now. Shut down the laptop and have a drink.

Yeah you probably don't have your thoughts in line. Just focus on what you have to do.

I have no idea, but that should be the least of your concerns right now.

At this point you have very little control over anything, but one thing you do have some control over is what, if anything your dad says. I cant stress enough the fact that somebody needs to get through to your dad at some point and make sure that he asserts his 5th Amendment right. Even very intelligent people are fooled into beliveing that they can talk themselves out of guilt.

Perhaps you could run it by your lawyer while he is trying to keep your father out of prison

Crazy how one day everything is normal, then all of a sudden a crazy incident happens.

The kids coming onto your parent's property can probably be proven by several witnesses.

The next few days will be a grind. Find a great lawyer, post his bond, and see what comes next.

I assume the kid is somewhere at the hospital?

He shouldn't say anything to anybody and get him a lawyer as soon as possible. It is of utmost importance that he keep his mouth shut.

anybody else who reads this, take this to heart. Don't, under any circumstances talk to the police without counsel.
