I agree with the above attorney. An attorney may be able to ask additional questions. There is no mention of anything being found. The "incident to arrest" caselaw is very broad. Be careful of how any plea will affect your eligibility to be designated a "Habitual Offender" for... View More

If you are not sure what is happening i would suggest discussing it with your attorney. There can be many reasons to continue a case that can be helpful to you. It is impossible to guess at such a reason but if you have questions talk to your lawyer about it.

Unlikely that this is a criminal matter. I would suggest contacting code enforcement department in the county where the facility is. They may need a complaint in order to investigate. I hope this helps.

Technically a person can change his/her plea at any time before the jury returns a verdict. However, different courts may have different ways of doing things. Some courts may deem any offer from the State as revoked if not accepted before setting a case for trial. To avoid this, it may be necessary... View More

Unfortunately, no. You will receive credit for the six years time you served - only on the related case. You will receive credit on the new case for any time you were in jail pending the resolution. Concurrent means the sentences runs together at the same time. It does not mean that the sentences... View More

In addition, you can be charged with two batteries if there are two separate victims if it occurs during the same incident. I agree that you should consult with an attorney. A battery can be enhanced to a felony if you have a prior battery and that should be avoided if at all possible.

The Statute of Limitations is satisfied when the charge is filed. The case does not need to be completed, it just has to be brought and any warrant executed or charge filed.

You will be required to follow all of the same rules that an attorney would be required to follow. A Pro Se defendant does not get special treatment. You will need to:

1. Let the court know you intend to represent yourself

2. Register for the E-filing portal

3. Draft and... View More

Typically Community Control cannot be transferred to another state because it is a function of DOC probation that does not exist in any other state. A transfer would probably necessitate a modification of the sentence to regular probation that would qualify for transfer under the Interstate Compact.

In general a "Nolle Pros" means that a case was dropped. As mentioned by the above attorney, that will usually result in a release from custody on that case. The exception to that is if a case is nolle prossed in order to refile the case in a higher or lower court. (i.e. misd. to felony... View More

RCO in Hernando means Re-Commitment Order. This is typically filed by the State Attorney when a person who is out on bond commits a new offense, thus violating their bond conditions. RCO's if granted result in the bond being revoked on the original case and a No Bond status being instituted.... View More

If you admit to a crime you can be prosecuted for it unless the Statute of Limitations has run. The State will have to have evidence that a crime occurred before that admission would be admissible. You never want to see an innocent person prosecuted for something they didn't do, however your... View More

In most jurisdictions, no. One of the conditions of bond is that you not commit any new crimes. The new charge will violate the conditions of bond on the old case. The State or the Judge on their own motion can request a revocation of the bond on the first case. You are going to need to speak to an... View More

I agree that the video can be used in court as long as the person who took it can authenticate it as to time and place etc. so as to make it relevant. You have no expectation of privacy while walking around in public.

Difficult question, but it is my opinion that doing the "right thing" is typically the best way to go. I believe that bringing the item and receipt back to the store with the intent to pay for the item will negate any intent associated with theft. Depending on the store, you can call and... View More

I recommend you hire an attorney to represent you in the investigative phase. Although you have a constitutional right to refuse to speak to law enforcement, they many times take a refusal to talk as some indicia of guilt. If they are trying to contact you I usually recommend that a client call the... View More

I would recommend that you hire a local attorney where the charges originated from. They may be able to work something out with the State. FTA warrants can stay active forever so something needs to be done. Ignoring it is rarely the best strategy, especially if is making your life more difficult... View More

Two people are often charged with the "exact same charges on the exact same case." There are several legal ways for a law enforcement officer to do so including:

1. Co-defendant

2. Conspiracy

3. Principle

4. Accessory

to name a few. You really need... View More

The right to sue a person is typically known as "standing." If the person's actions did not harm you, that is usually a bar to bringing a suit. I do not see a way under these limited facts that you can be the one bringing the suit on behalf of your friend's alleged damages.

You are going to need to speak to an attorney in CO about those charges. Depending on what the charges are, there may be a way to take care of them or fight them without you having to go back. An attorney who is local to where the charges originated may be willing to take a look at them and tell... View More
