Yes you can. Your scenario presents a question of fact: did he or didn't he have a firearm. That's ultimately for a jury to determine at trial, by weighing the credibility of the two conflicting statements.

Your registration would be public. There is no private sex offender registry, which would be quite contrary to the intent of the registry.

Yes, although highly limited.

Not enough information. I don't know whether you are talking about traffic fines, misdemeanor fines, and costs, or felony. I don't know your prior history, whether you have a long record of cases and failure to appear. Many factors enter the equation. Don't mess around. Hire an... View More

The short answer is no, but I would suggest working with a seasoned local criminal attorney who may be able to help y you navigate toward a solution here.

Prosecutors make the decision to press charges. Have you contacted the local prosecutor's office to determine the case status? They could have elected not to pursue charges for any number of reasons. Just because someone wants charges pressed doesn't mean that the prosecutor must do so.

Depends on what the letter says was the mistake. I would imagine it's a time computation error - essentially clerical in nature; in that case, an attorney is unnecessary. If the sentence is within the guidelines or within what was contemplated in the plea agreement, then that letter is more or... View More

It never hurts to at least talk with a local attorney who might be able to give you guidance as to what your particular judge expects and prepare you for the hearing. Expungements are discretionary, meaning that just because you qualify doesn't mean that the judge has to grant it. And it will... View More

The crime appears to be that you were driving a car without proper registration. If the officer was following procedure, he ran the plate through his computer and the crime would be obvious. The officer could not have known about the lack of insurance. The offer need not turn on his lights for... View More

The sentencing guidelines inform a defendant what he or she can reasonably expect as far as sentencing; they also inform the judge on what an appropriate sentence may be. The numbers you posted are what we would call prison guidelines - meaning that a prison sentence is likely. They also set the... View More

Is this a juvenile matter? If so, it sounds like the decision was made to put the case on what's called the consent calendar. Why would your friend want a trial in this case, and possibly face 1) a record (albeit juvenile), and 2) worse sanctions?

I think you'd need certainly a post-judgment motion. The legal question, though, is what was the amount of damages in 2009; not necessarily what the property eventually sold for. I think the more interesting question - and perhaps how this sort of motion may be better presented - is whether... View More

Get an attorney

Yes. The relevant statute of limitations is what is important.

Well, I do not know the answer to question without seeing it. However, as a university student, braking or breaking?

You should be represented by counsel especially if you do not have a basic understanding

There is more to this STORY than you have been told.

A letter to a judge means nothing.

A witness would have to testify in front of the jury.

You will be sentenced on your probation violation, with your original sentencing guidelines used for a good estimate. Additionally, you are likely facing a new charge, and points will be assessed for picking up this new charge while on probation in the sentencing guidelines. Without knowing more... View More

Probation officer can ask the court to release him from probation. Whether the probation officer would be willing to make that ask, and whether the judge would agree, depends on the circumstances.

If a simple letter would do that, then so many people including the guilty would be set free.
