Very sorry for your loss. You should contact a Federal Civil Rights attorney.
Is it the responsibility of the defense attorney or the defendant himself to initiate getting the petition (6600 SVP) dropped in the county of commitment? Is there a case law number that I can get to give to my friends dump truck attorney?
answered on Mar 6, 2021
In the end, the judge does it. It happens after a conviction in the new case.
He posted ordinance 10.40.066 but changed the amount in the pet ordinance from $100 to $500.

If it is a county ordinance, the hoe board cannot impose the fine. If the county Issues a citation and fine you, then the code is set by law iand it doesn't matter with the sign says!
Good luck.

It is possible is unfortunately the best answer. Depends on the circumstances, the prosecutor's policies, and several other factors.

It is probably civil, not criminal.
I am not a civil attorney, but I think that they cannot hold the property.

Federally, no.
State law is a bit different. If the felony was reduced to a misdemeanor, the is a case called People v. Park.
Be warned, federal law says never!

The district attorney's office has the right to proceed on the case whether or not the victim wants to go forward.

Alleged crime happend when he was 17 and they waited until he was 18 and just threw him into adult court with no mention of him being a minor at the time of incident.
answered on Mar 2, 2021
O.G. v. Superior Court was just decided by the Supreme Court. The DA lost the case and the Court said that Senate bill 1361 is constitution.
Since the DA knows that they lost, now they will wait until minors turn 18 on serious cases. His attorney will likely file a motion to transfer the... View More

If the brother could not possess weapons because of a juvenile conviction, there are several issues.
1) If brother truly could not access the safe, then your BF should get the safe back.
2) the picture may be enough for a probation violation on the brother.

In them how do I bring up criminal charges against them and how long do I have to do so
answered on Mar 2, 2021
Could definitely be a criminal theft case and a probate case also.
In general the statute of limitations is 3 years or sometimes one year after the discovery of the theft.
If you haven't already done so, demand an accounting from the executor.
Good luck!
The border patrol in Arizona mentioned there was a charge but no information has been received regarding court dates or anything. Is it a misdemeanor, felony or something worse ? No prison or jail time was served, but is it something that has to be scrubbed clean or otherwise ?
answered on Feb 28, 2021
It is typically a federal charge and also a felony. Your record and various other factors can dramatically increase and decrease the seriousness. The fact that you are not currently in custody is good.
Good luck!

$5000. You each owe $5,000. Whatever you pay reduces your $5k. Whatever they pay reduces your $5k. If you pay $4k and they pay $1k, that is OK. The law wants the victim paid.
