Is that mayor's court charge still active
answered on Feb 1, 2023
Felonies do not override lesser charges. There are usually two judges, common pleas and municipal, with two separate sentences for what you were found guilty. Sentences can be run concurrent or consecutive depending on the judge and facts. If the cases are related you have a shot of getting the... Read more »
I want charges dropped. Subpoena was mailed not served. Do I have to appear at the pre-trial?
answered on Jan 22, 2023
Yes if you were subpoenaed. Some judges work on DV’s at pre trial.
No chl charges date back over ten years

Yes. If the parts are for an illegal firearm such as an uzi that fires multiple rounds with one trigger squeeze, there may be an issue.
Otherwise, no gun permit is needed in Ohio.

Trespassed from? Do you mean Stay Away order? If it’s the latter, yes it is trespassing, as the judges sheet will have a determined amount of distance you must keep from said store. Even if not, once you touch the door you are trespassing
Disorderly conduct. I now have a new case in Texas for Injury to child that I'm taking to trial. The prosecutor wants to bring up my old original charge, can he do that?

A prosecutor may bring prior convictions of dishonesty, such as fraud, or any felonies. Disorderly consumer does not fall within these, and is what you were convicted of.

Yes. Obstruction of Official Business is what I assume you’re charged with. At the time you committed the crime, the case was not resolved. Your statement was part of what the police relied on as evidence of DV. By lying to the police, you obstructed their investigation. Therefore your charge... Read more »

Yes. Anything in the vehicle is chargeable to everyone in the vehicle.
This was her first offense. Commutes to college. Could she represent herself or would a court appointed attorney be wise.

Where you serve your sentence is determined by the correctional facility.
answered on Jan 1, 2023
Yes. Anyone charged with a crime that posts bail will be released regardless of co-defendants ability to post bail.

As long as you weren’t found guilty of domestic violence, you’re good. It has to be a misdemeanor of violation to prevent purchase. If you’re steaming about her charges, I’d hold off on buying a gun.

Treatment is an option, if you qualify, as opposed to jail. It depends on your facts. First, you must plead guilty for the court to sentence you. The court can’t force you into treatment. Discuss your options with your attorney.

You haven’t been charged with anything. My advice to you, if this lady is invading your privacy, is file menacing charges.
This will be my first offense. I have nothing else at all on my record. Not even speeding tickets.
answered on Oct 23, 2022
It depends on the judge and prosecutor in your court. Some prosecutors will throw the case out, judge permitting, while others will make you go to trial if need be. You are not in trouble.

Not going to be thrown out. You need to an attorney to review for your case. Inventory search is valid when towing, which was legal due to your suspension. Knowledge of drugs and paraphernalia is not required to charge you. I recommend hiring an attorney for any possible motion to suppress issues,... Read more »
