It will affect a new charge but will not be counted as a prior conviction if the drug court charges are dismissed. The prosecutors will consider it, and the fact that he has been through drug court in the past may limit your husband's options. Still, if he is found guilty of the new offenses,... View More

In the ambulance, you gave the drugs to the paramedic, who, in turn, gave them to the... View More

Resisting with a motor vehicle level 6 felony in Indiana. Its a misdemeanor in alabama. How does that work.

You might.
