Reply #7: To be honest if said person that has a thing against the owner of the property

[mrcheerful]

your son was on, he could easily say your son was riding on the shoulder of the road before your son lost control and flipped the ORV. It would then be hard for you to prove he wasn't on the road way, remember michigan road ways include 25 feet of the property you own. As far as the judge getting involved also take into account that the property owner next to the property son was riding on is also a servent of the court and he has a duty to tell the judge if something needs to be looked into that the DA missed. I also get the feeling your son talked to the police without a lawyer present and admitted he had been drinking. Even if he had not of told the police, if the medical team were aware of his drinking they would have to tell police that fact. Legal matters are best handled by lawyers and you should have one you and your son can talk matters over with. Taking your case into an open forum seeking legal advise isn't going to help as you will get non legal advise from non legal experts and to be honest we can not get the evidence that is being used against your son, all we have is what you say happened, but without the paper work from the court we have no ideal what the court is saying happened. Sorry I can't be more help but I am not able to give legal advise except talk to a lawyer.
