Are You Looking at a Possible Wrongful Conviction?

Many people are put into jail cells due to cases of mistaken identity or a failure in conducting a proper investigation. This leads to innocent individuals being wrongfully convicted. A wrongful conviction can lead to years of your life taken for something you did not do. Hiring a knowledgeable criminal defense attorney in College Station can highlight any flaws in the state's case and fight to ensure that you are not unlawfully found guilty for a crime you did not commit.

What Is Prohibited on a College Campus?

Almost every student knows that underage drinking is illegal, but there are other activities that college-aged individuals partake in that are also forbidden. It is important for you to be aware that the college you attend may take separate measures to discipline you if you engage in illegal activity.

Some of these activities include:

• Use of illegal substances (controlled dangerous substances or CDS)
• Possession of drug paraphernalia
• Public drunkenness
• Disorderly conduct
• Public urination
• Forgery (using a fake ID)
• Harassing others
• Assault/battery

Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a college student’s criminal history may be made available to a college campus police department. Both state and private universities take offenses under the influence, assault, battery, drug charges, and theft very seriously. You may be subject to disciplinary action from your university.

Some possible disciplinary actions include:

• Written Reprimand
• University Probation
• Suspension
• Expulsion

If you are an international student on a visa, a criminal conviction would mean jeopardizing your right to be in the United States, along with a jeopardization of future careers. Either way, reach out to our College Station criminal defense attorney for further guidance.
