Marengo, OH asked in Criminal Law, Personal Injury and Civil Rights for Ohio

Q: I believe my son was wrongly jailed and his rights violated. As a result, they caused him to violate a condition

Of his probation which is job retention. They set him up to fali when he was on the cusp of getting enough saved up to finally get things in order. I can't afford a lawyer for him and would like his case reassigned to another judge. Our court system is so jacked up they let meth heads back on streets but jail him for an inconclusive drug test that showed a false positive for a drug he never even heard of. He's trying to take care of his family and stay out of trouble but the probation personnel are skirting the rules and as a result he's in a further hardship. How do I get help for him to get released? He was beaten in jail by two thugs who were never supposed to even be there and the jail personnel won't let us see him. He had to get stitches and CT scan shows multiple hairline fractures in his eye socket. Please help I'm out of options

You want the judge disqualifed, does he?

He should consult with his lawyer.
