I was selling my birds. A lady contacted me to purchase them, and proved she would not care for them right. I told her no, and kept looking. A guy contacted me and told me he would take the birds to his home in Wisconsin, where just he lives, and they would be his birds. 2 months later the woman... Read more »
You could certainly report the matter to law enforcement, but I’m not sure this qualifies as a theft. You received payment for the birds. The fact that someone acted as a cut out for the purchase of the birds doesn’t necessarily make the situation a crime.
I got in a traffic accident. The trooper who issued the charges against me was not at the scene of the accident.
The rule against hearsay only applies in a courtroom. It doesn’t apply when it comes to issuing citations.
sexually assaulted twice.She was brought to hospital both times.As her patents we need to get advice to help her any information you have or advice would be appreciated. Thankyou.
I’d suggest contacting an attorney directly. Most will give a free consultation. But this is more complicated than can be addressed in this format.
The charge is felony gun possession with ammunition possession and the accused is juvenile felon that was sealed years ago. The firearm is legally registered to another person that is legally allowed to own one, and happened to forgot in defendant vehicle but was not physically on the defendant.
This question seems to address multiple, unrelated issues. The defendant would typically demand a steedy trial at the omnibus hearing. That is a demand that the defendant makes. This individual also needs an attorney ASAP. These are serious charges and carry serious consequences.
I need honest answer
There isn’t a question here. Get an attorney ASAP to address the warrant. Things aren’t going to get better by waiting.
I live in MN and my 39 year old son who doesn't live with me took my truck and ended up hitting a parked car (very little damage) leaving the scene, then out running the cops. Now they are telling me they can keep my truck, is this true? I knew nothing about it Thanks So Much... Read more »
There are two possibilities here. First, that they’re holding it as evidence and that you’ll eventually get the vehicle back. Second, that they are pursuing forfeiture. If so, there are time limits to object to forfeiture and you need to get an attorney on board ASAP, if you want any chance... Read more »
Is it possible to avoid a official record? Are there loopholes on avoiding charges and or paying a fee instead without having a record ruined?
The prosecutor might be willing to negotiate a disposition that will keep a conviction off of your record. Having an attorney makes such a result more likely.
My ex moved back into the apartment building where I still currently live in the apartment we used to share until the DANCO was put into effect. She moved to a different town but is now back and living in a different apartment on the floor above me. Is this a violation of the DANCO?
Her... Read more »
You don’t provide enough information. Who is the protected party? What does the DANCO order?
I'd suggest reaching out to attorneys directly. You don't provide enough information here to really answer your question. It's unclear where the tickets were issued, how many of them there are, whether they are at warrant status or not, misdemeanor vs. gross misdemeanor, etc.
Vinelink says that he was out of custody - missing resync record. Whats does this mean, and where is he being held?
It takes sometime for an individual to be booked and for that information to appear online. I would assume that your friend is in the county jail where the alleged murder occurred. He or she will be held for a court date and then conditions of release such as bail will be set.
Is that double jeopardy seeing the the conviction was because it was said that the charge that I was convicted on came from the charges that was dismissed?
No. That is not double jeopardy. Jeopardy does not attach until trial. A dismissal doesn’t meet that requirement.
Family members got guardianship? Woyld you not be aware of criminal proceedings and would you get a care taker without your permission or your say so to whom it may be. Could law keep threatening daily with warrants and family
This question is incredibly confusing. It's unclear what is being asked. Criminal charges and a guardianship are two entirely different things and are unrelated to each other. A warrant could certainly be issued if you missed a court hearing on a criminal matter, but that has nothing to do... Read more »
If I take the blame for their crime to save them, can the prison sentence be removed?
If you take the blame, you also take the consequences - including a potential prison sentence. Pleading guilty to something you didn’t do is a terrible idea. Get an attorney on board to help you.
If I am convicted in CA state court, then after I've been sentenced to 4 yrs in prison, but before I've began to serve this sentence the judge lets me out on bond pending appeal. While out on bond pending appeal I'm arrested for a federal offense, convicted and sentenced for said... Read more »
This is a question best asked and answered in a California criminal law forum. But concurrent vs. consecutive is usually determined by the second court that sentences you. The bigger issue that you will run into is how California determines credit. For example, if this happened in Minnesota with... Read more »
Minnesota law.
You ask this question in a Minnesota forum. Minnesota does not utilize the death penalty so I'm not sure if you are asking this question or nationally or otherwise. The NGRI (not guilty by reason of insanity) defense standards vary state to state. Minnesota uses the M'Naghten standard.
There’s no way to know based on the information you provided. Contact someone directly.
This appears to be a repeat of another question.
You should fine if you want to challenge the ticket. Address it in the morning.
What happens if you go beyond the 30 days? Does it matter if its a Sunday? I would Iike to contest my ticket for a continuance of dismissal, but I’m not from the area where i got the ticket. I was going 20 over the speed limit, but the ticket was only issued for 10 over, so is it wise to just... Read more »
Don’t just pay the ticket if you want to contest it. Get an attorney. You won’t necessarily have to appear in court.
I was arrested for suspicion of DWI after being pulled over for a third brakelite being out. Can the police use incriminating evidence found only after the search incident to arrest? I would think they would had to have the search warrant prior to arresting me or at the very least the probable... Read more »
Of course they can. There is no obligation that law enforcement ignore evidence developed before the search incident to arrest. The probable cause basis for the arrest can differ from the probable cause to support a warrant application to get a search warrant for a blood draw. I am assuming that... Read more »
