I live in New York i'm still under 18 and whatnot. so heres the story, a group of friends and i get tickets for trespass in a park after hours, but at the same time a rumor of a fire at a camping place was going around and fire fighters come to extinguish it.
my group of friends and i were near the place of fire when we got the tickets but we did not set the fire. though we did not have anything to do with the fire, the fire marshal wants to press charges on us for arson/attempted arson because we were around the area of when it happened
so my questions are: what proof does the marshal have against us when we had nothing to do with the fire and the fact that we were only charged with trespass?
:what are the charges if the marshal does convict us?
it's been 3 months since i got the trespass ticket
and was wondering what the marshal can do if we weren't charged of arson at the time?
and one more thing, the park was not damaged and nobody was hurt
