I was arrested for driving and while booking in less than a half gram of meth fell out my sock. How much time does that carry?
It is a C Felony and so the actual time would be determined by a number of factors.
He is supposed to leave end of month for rehab so need the hold lifted him a courtdate or a furlough saying he can go to rehab and not have to sit there and do more time already been there a year and just now come up with a hold on him from a warrant in 2015
He needs to be transported to that county for the warrant to be served and then the hold will be lifted and he can go on a furlough.
He asked for a nurse but was told no then asked to call an ambulance they checked his blood pressure and determined he was fine.
Yes they can refuse to give them if they are considered narcotics.
The coach is asking my child what their full name is, where they live, who they live with, what color house they live in, after asking about where their father is and what happened to him.
I am wanting to know what I can do to handle this legally since the academy is not looking like they... Read more »
I would suggest just talking to the coach and telling them to stop asking those questions.
You would have to change the statute of drug paraphernalia for it to be legal.
My ex wife’s bf was charged and arrested for Agg assault. Her attorney represented her bf in court against her. The charges were dropped. The Same attorney also represents her in a child custody lawsuit. Is this not a conflict of interest or something?
I would not personally do it. But they can if they both waive a conflict of interest.
he waived his extradation right and still have not heard a word about what is going on
I would contact his attorney in NC to see if he can find out. That seems to be taking an extra long time to extradite him but it could be because of COVID as well.
Police officers cannot turn on their emergency lights when they stop to help a motorist. Officer D turned on his when stopping to give possible assistance to Al, who was parked in his van on the shoulder of the road. He saw a beer "in plain sight" and he subsequnetly arrested Al for... Read more »
So reading this I think it would depend on the reasoning of the Judge to why he suppressed the evidence and whether the same reasoning would then apply to say a dead body.
It started off concurrent and then they made it consecutive ( felony while on parole) but had me get an amendmended/corrected sentence order(I did) they still treating it consecutive
The one thing that comes to mind is that they committed a crime while on bond. If this is the case then the department mandatorily runs it consecutive.
I got charged with drug paraphernalia even though I used it to ingest my own prescription ( a cut straw)
Even though that is a very unique way to take your prescribed medicine it would be very hard to prove that the substance you were ingesting is a prescribed medicine. Long story short I would suggest not doing this.
I have tried already for a year to get my lawyer's help and he has yet to help me. I am not sure what to do.
Ask the court clerks office in the county that you were in court a year ago and they should be able to help you.
If so, can you please add contact information?
It is the Public Defenders Office and you will have to qualify and be appointed them by a Judge.
Yes it is.
Unless there is a valid reason to recalculate it (i.e. missing good time, program credits) there is no point in doing so.
I called 911 to help my husband who was having a seizure. The police made me sign papers while he was dying without telling me what they were and while I was frantic and not in my right mind to sign anything due to me trying to get to the hospital to be with my husband. I feel like They are now... Read more »
Yes, I would hire an attorney to fight for you in this matter.
Is there anyway to get another chance on community corrections
The most is that your sentence be put into full effect.
Was charged with theft under $1000. I had no intent on taking anything. I was Christmas shopping and the scanner must have not scanned everything like I thought. What can I do?
I would hire an attorney to fight these charges for you.
The problem with a handling a case without a lawyer is that anything you say to the DA can be used against you. Pro se defendants don't usually think they are saying anything incriminating until it is used against them in the future.
There should be a number on the slip. I would call and confirm that this is a legitimate note. If it is, I would hire an attorney immediately.
I would suggest talking to an attorney about your case so you can go more in depth about your case.
