I believe the bca lost the evidence but my attorney says he is waiting for the report from the prosecuting attorney. It's been 7 months already. Also they keep asking me if I want to plead out.
answered on Nov 2, 2023
The defense attorney generally receives those records from the prosecutor. So the BCA sends them to the prosecutor and then the prosecutor sends them to the defense attorney.
Plea. Then the warrant and all the charges get thrown out for brother #2. My other brother is still fighting his charges. If the judge threw the warrant for one of us shouldn't it be throw out for all of us?
answered on Oct 30, 2023
The legal issues are not necessarily the same for all three brothers. The legal issues would specific to each brother's situation. The judge who threw out your brother's case only has the authority to decide the case that is in front of the judge.
Specifically, will it have an affect on other cities in the same county (Hennepin)?
answered on Oct 25, 2023
That will be up to the other cities, but I tend to doubt that all the cities in Hennepin County will adopt the same policy.
Abuser locked me out ruined my belongings and now he's serving me where is my rights as a victim

You can certainly contact law enforcement about the destruction of your property. You should also contest the OFP. You also have a right to request an OFP against him. The process for that is fairly straight forward and the paperwork is available online and a courthouses.
I've got police report of the situation but only cause I got it myself from the district attorney 2 years later. Once I discovered the charges when I ran my own background check. Until then I was unaware I was charged and not to mention convicted of these charges. How is this possible?

No, you cannot be convicted of a felony without having appeared in Court unless things were handled remotely via Zoom hearings.
If the petitioner stops at say a gas station and is unaware the respondent is there, is it up to the petitioner to leave immediately? I have an ofp on my ex and he has it in his mind that that if he is there first I must be the one to leave. (I have to fuel up at this station for work) Ofp states... View More

An OFP is typically a one way street unless there are mutual OFPs. He would be obligated to leave a location if you arrive, particularly if there is a 1,000 ft restriction.
I am very confused by the laws concerning this. I have seen some people classify it as violating prostitution laws, others say that it violates obscenity laws. Still others say it is legal. If a dancer is doing light grinding on a patron, and the patron is fully clothed, does this violate any laws?... View More
answered on Oct 21, 2023
It's probably a bad idea to do it if you are questioning it's legality. Perhaps the best thing to do is to avoid getting a lap dance where the dancer is "lightly grinding" on you.

I do not believe that it would be illegal absent some other physical activity that might come along with the moan.
I have an ofp on my ex and have had it renewed, if u will 3 times over the last almost 5 years. He has been violated on this ofp. He recently bought a house on my road and is even closer to my home then before. Just out of the 1000ft ordered range. He drives by all hours of the night and is... View More

No, there is no process whereby an OFP can be modified into a DANCO. You could certainly seek to have the terms and conditions of the OFP to be modified to make it more restrictive if the respondent has moved on your same street
The 21 Year Old female is in no position of power over the 16 Year Old, and met through work both as event attendants. The 21 Year Old does work at a school as a special education para, however not in the same school district as the 16 Year Old.

"Dating" is not illegal. The actions that accompany "dating" - sex, sexting, etc. can be illegal. The sixteen year old is over the age of consent in Minnesota, but this is a terrible idea. Realistically, you have little or nothing in common with this child. Run away as fast as you can.
Theft charges in a place I've never been. There's a remote hearing scheduled but I don't know what to do. They say they have a video can I or how do I request the video. What are the best steps to take.
answered on Sep 12, 2023
A good start would be to get an attorney. Theft is a serious charge that can have long term consequences for you in terms of employment, housing, etc. An attorney will be prosecuting you and you need an attorney to fight for you and to protect your rights. You should apply for a public defender... View More

You don't "press" charges. You report the matter to law enforcement and a prosecutor presses charges. It is unlikely that they are going to press charges against her if they already prosecuted you based on her allegations, but it certainly cannot hurt to call law enforcement about the issue.
Just wondering about how much I’d have to pay if I wanted to hire a lawyer for my boyfriends case.
answered on Aug 10, 2023
Your boyfriend should contact attorneys direct that practice in Lyon County for prices. The price is going to depend on a number of factors including the charge(s) he is facing, his prior criminal history, etc.
answered on Jul 29, 2023
Yes, they have to show up. If they don't, a warrant will likely be issued for their arrest. They should consult directly with a criminal defense attorney if they intend on testifying differently than expected based upon the statements that they made to law enforcement.

You can certainly make such a motion, but that doesn't mean that the motion to dismiss is going to be granted. The worst that the Court can say is no.
My daughter was aggressively barked and harassed by an employee at the Dollar Tree in Fridley, MN or may be considered Columbia Heights. My child is now afraid to go to stores because she feels that will happen again.
There is a lot more and a backstory to how this came to be.
answered on Jun 23, 2023
There isn't really a question here. What you describe would not be a criminal matter. She wasn't charged with a crime and I'm not sure that her treatment by employees would rise to the level of a crime. What kind of advice are you looking for?

You could certainly contact law enforcement. You could apply for an OFP against your brother on behalf of your child. You could choose to keep your child away from your mother and brother. You have a multitude of options here. You just need to decide how you want to approach this situation.
