answered on Jan 2, 2023

A video is not required to convict a person of a crime. There are many other kinds of evidence, including eye-witness testimony, that could be used to convict a person without any video evidence.

A person with a criminal history can testify.

You cannot communicate directly with the Judge. There are motions that you may want to file, including possibly a demand for speedy trial, that can speed up the process.

You may want to consider hiring a lawyer to protect your rights, and to help resolve your case more quickly.

Q: If somebody is out on bond with a curfew and an ankle monitor, how can you get the curfew extended for work?

It's my assistant manager and I'm trying to get him promoted, but he has to have open availability. The case hasn't even made it to superior court yet and may not. His lawyer is court appointed and ignoring him(not returning phone calls or messages). Thank you in advance.

You would need to file a motion to modify the conditions of bond. It’s possible that a prosecutor would consent, but if not, a hearing before a judge would be required.

Q: what does 3 years probation to serve 60 days mean

State of Georgia charges are possession of meth

Robbie Levin
Robbie Levin
answered on May 12, 2022

It means that you serve 60 days in jail, and then you are released to probation for the remainder of the 3 year sentence.

It’s basically a 3 year probation sentence that requires you to serve a little jail time before starting the probation part.

Q: Need a criminal defense lawyer to put off my trial date so I can hire a lawyer it is tomorrow. My lawyer died

Theft by taking

Robbie Levin
Robbie Levin
answered on Mar 28, 2022

If your attorney recently passed away, the Court will almost certainly give you time to obtain new counsel. However, it is important to hire someone as soon as possible. Your new lawyer will likely be able to persuade the Judge to grant some extra time to prepare.

It is possible that your personal injury lawyer also handles criminal cases. However, you would certainly want a criminal defense lawyer to handle your criminal case. Would you go to an eye doctor for a toothache?

You don't "file" for house arrest. You either negotiate house arrest with the prosecutor, or you try to convince the Judge to give it to you. You are much more likely to have a shot at a better plea bargain if you are represented by an attorney. I strongly suggest you try to find... View More

You have asked if you can be arrested for something when you’ve already been arrested for it. So clearly the answer is yes. The real concern is whether you can be convicted. I would need to know more facts about the case, but it sounds like a winnable case for you.

We don’t have assists or kids to split and have not been together for over 12 years

Generally, the state where you got married is not a factor in where the divorce is filed. You file for divorce in the State where you/your spouse are currently living. Some states have residency requirements. In Georgia, you need to live here at least 6 months prior to filing.

If your husband won't sign paperwork, you can still get divorced. You will just need to file the appropriate paperwork and have the Court sign off on the divorce. It may also require a short court hearing. I would suggest obtaining a lawyer to help you through the process.
