Can they charge me if it's not my car and I didn't know it was there is that right?

Yes, that is enough evidence to establish probable cause of a crime being committed. Whether it will be sufficient to prove the specific crime beyond a reasonable doubt is a separate question. I would recommend not making any statements to anyone but your lawyer. If you cannot afford one, you... View More
Does the Sherrif have the right to use my name like this to another civilian without evidence or at least a criminal history.
answered on Oct 16, 2017
It sounds like the Sheriff may be attempting to have you be the main suspect in a crime. Although the sheriff is permitted to ask, you should retain an attorney if criminal charges have been pressed.

It most likely means treatment such as alcohol or drug treatment.
However my immunity case was a direct factor in the sentence I received in a separate case. I have no prior convictions and the states attorney brought up my immunity case to justify the amount of time she was giving me? Do I have any legal recourse?

Your question is much too vague to provide an answer. I suggest contacting an attorney.

North Dakota does not have an expungement process. However, if you received a deferred imposition of sentence and successfully completed probation your plea can be withdrawn, the case dismissed, and the file sealed.
I was released and have just been informed that I was denied, but my judgement was release on the terms of drug court acceptance, which the states attorney did accept. My charges are intent to deliver and poss. of LSD in north dakota.

Ask your attorney whether you can withdraw your guilty plea if you were not accepted into drug court.
Is there somewhere a person can look up a particular judge's rulings in order to try to ascertain how he might rule in a similar case? I have a loved one awaiting sentencing and we'd like to try to be a little prepared regarding what to expect, if possible. I realize that several factors... View More

I guess the best thing to do is to talk with a local criminal defense attorney who has known the judge for many years.
I was recently assaulted by an individual visiting a neighbor. The woman doing the assaulting was arrested. The neighbor has continued to harass me and taken and destroyed property (he has been harassing me before the assault-I "rejected" him-he has tried to get my attention). I filed a... View More

You have to see a local attorney for a complete discussion about this.

Um, that is how it works, you hire an attorney for a case, and the attorney does what is necessary in representing you. That would include filing a motion for bond, if necessary, and setting a hearing.
He received his first ticket for this in Oct of 2014. He received another ticket for the same thing in April of 2015. He hadnt gone to court for the first one yet when he got the second ticket.

You say that there was no reason, but I will bet that the cop will say something totally different. Hire a criminal defense attorney if you were charged with a crime. The attorney will learn all the facts, not just your position, but the cop's position as well, and represent you accordingly.... View More

Attorneys deal constantly with facts and the law. Without knowing the facts, we are at a strong disadvantage in attempting to answer any questions.
There is a woman in Los Angeles who has violated federal law, but the United States Attorney there has chosen not to prosecute her.
I have enough evidence to bring her to trial.
Can I myself file a criminal complaint against this woman on behalf of the people of the United States of America?
answered on Aug 4, 2015
Criminal cases are brought be prosecutors. A local lawyer can confirm.
