I have a buddy who was going to serve a 90 day parole violation on January 9th and got caught with a gun... Will he automatically get a year denial when he goes up for parole or is it an option but not automatic??
answered on Jan 14, 2020
A violation of parole does not mean that an individual will get an automatic year of incarceration. If your friend signed for 90 days on the parole violation then he will be released after the 90 days pending the outcome of the new charge and any bond they will have to make after the parole hold...

Capital murder is the big one. It's most likely that if he is guilty of capital murder the he is looking at either death or life without parole

I would if I was in your position. There are number of things that can happen, the prosecutor can reduce the charge or work something out. Does not hurt to fight the ticket.
He was charged with a felony in 2010 and has not had any more trouble since then. He also has an alcohol problem can he get rehab?
answered on Oct 27, 2017
I assume you are asking if he can get rehab instead of probation, suspended time, or jail time. It will all depend on your husbands criminal history and negotiations with the prosecuting attorney's office. But, it can be a part of an offer that the prosecution makes in your husbands case.

A domestic battery 3rd degree charge is a Misdameanor meaning there is a possibility of up to 1 year in jail and a fine of up $2,500. That does not mean that he will go to jail for a year, but it is a possiblity.
He is NOT on parole. I understand he's a felon but I'm not. I'm curious to know if a gun safe would suffice if I do decide to purchase a weapon. I haven't been able to find any info. I'm wanting to get my conceal carry permit so I'm just wanting to check the legality... View More

If your spouse is a felon then he/she cannot have a weapon in the home. He/she could easily be charged with a PFBCP if the parole officer comes to do a check/search at the home. If your spouse has any questions then he/she should direct them to the parole officer.
My son is in jail because they issued three warrants for criminal trespassing against him. He was never told or anything was never posted telling him this. The police said they don't have to inform you of it. Then how is it fair, if you didn't know?
answered on Sep 28, 2017
They do not have to inform you that there are arrest warrants out for an individual. Typically, most people find out about warrants when they get pulled over for a traffic violation. It is unfortunate.
Someone threatened me and then I slapped them and then someone pushed me into a room not letting me out so I hit them and got another charge for that. And then was attacked after the fact by another party. Can I get out of this charge and what am I facing?
answered on Sep 21, 2017
The facts are Interesting but you are looking at possible serious prison time with a second degree battery charge and should contact an attorney. Tote criminal history and previous arrests will be considered by the prosecution.

Assaulted and the person being accused of assaulting aren't related or live together?
answered on Sep 14, 2017
It sounds like the charge might have been either a clerical error or the officer made a mistake. Nonetheless, the prosecutor can easily amend the charge to the correct one at a later date.
The felony charge was in Missouri
answered on Sep 13, 2017
Yes, you need to petition to seal the record and allow the prosecutor to look over it to see if they have any objections. Due to the length of time since the conviction hopefully there would not be an issue. You would not need any other criminal convictions on your record in order to get a... View More

But, I think your best opportunity to get rid of this ticket or to try to downgrade it to some other small non-moving violation would be... View More
I received charges in the state of Ar. And I had to redo my CDL test, took drivers class, etc. Also does your driving record show if there r no citations, fines, and tickets paid?
answered on Aug 12, 2017
I'm don't understand what you mean by does your driving record show there are no citations. But driver control should be able to answer your questions about your record being released or getting your license back.
answered on Aug 12, 2017
With fines and court costs you can be charged more than $265.00. It depends on the court and the judge as to what your fine will be for careless. Best bet is to negotiate it with the prosecutor if possible.
