This depends on what is happening in Court. Is the hearing an arraignment, pretrial, evidentiary hearing, deposition, trial? You can always contact the victim's advocate at the courthouse and they can go through general information with you.
Best of luck.
You haven't actually asked a question, but I am assuming you want to know why the court granted them bond but kept you under house arrest. The answer to that question is hard to give from so little information. It may be as simple as you have a record and they do not. It may be that they have... Read more »

Another resident committed the attack, however, the facility didn't respond and react appropriately. I have removed my mother and setting up home health care/rehabilitation. She had complete shoulder replacement and had to fight this resident off of her. She has now had a set-back in her... Read more »
An Ohio attorney could best advise, but your post remains open for two weeks. I'm very sorry for your mother's and your family's ordeal here. Reach out to Ohio attorneys; they won't contact you - this is only a Q & A board. You'll have to contact them. You can search... Read more »

Truth is an absolute defense in defamation lawsuits. But that doesn't mean he won't sue you and argue some or all of what you've said is untrue so there could still be a hassle.
Recently a documentary was filmed and aired on the Investigation Discovery Channel which is owned by Discovery Incorporated. This documentary was about a murder in my hometown. At one point a woman is being interviewed and they show a picture on the screen with a man's image highlighted and... Read more »
I recommend your friend consults with an attorney. If the woman did not have any reason to believe he was actually the murderer and claimed that he was, that could be a reckless or intentional misrepresentation on her part. Defamation is a state law issue that is different in every state so ensure... Read more »

I'm sorry to hear that you had to go through this. You have a case but.....the problem is that homeowners won't cover intentional acts, and if there is no insurance unless he's worth a lot of money you will get a piece of paper saying you are entitled to money--but he won't be... Read more »
My nephew said I stole the title to his car and cashed a work check of his. I didn't do this. He accused me of criminal acts; theft and forgery. His parents (my brother & his wife) won't talk to me. I'm devastated over this. Can I file a lawsuit against him for slander?
You can file a lawsuit against anyone for any reason, whether you will win is a different story. Generally, defamation (slander and libel) require that you prove the things is false, and damaged your reputation costing you money.
Well...he would need to claim that the statements are false. You can pretty much sue someone over anything, how successful your suit will be depends on the truth and evidence.
My nephew told his parents that I stole the title to his car & cashed a work check of his. My brother & his wife believed him. I did take everything out of my nephew's glove compartment. My nephew saw me do this & told me I could have it because he didn't care. My son is a... Read more »

It's only slander if you file a lawsuit and a court agrees that it is. Do you plan to file a lawsuit? That could be an expensive process, and take months. Otherwise, tell the future landlord the full story. Without any kind of written contract for the work you did, and no written lease, it... Read more »

It is legal to tell people the truth. It is not a crime. A civil protection order, however, does not actually require a crime. A person may seek court protection without having to prove a crime, if he or she can show a pattern of harassment.
If and when this goes to court, how do i defend against the lies?
The court can issue an order not to make any statements about each other. During the divorce, if one spouse has made false statements relevant in the divorce, the other spouse can give testimony and evidence to refute those statements. Until a divorce is filed, it is more difficult to stop such... Read more »

File a police report. They might help. Or contact your local legal aid, or sue the landlord in small claims court for wrongful eviction and the value of your things and the cost to find alternate living arrangements.
He called me a racial slur in high school and I wanted to put his name and what he did in the dedication section of a book I want to publish. We were the only witnesses in the situation and I haven't spoken to him since high school. I also kept the situation to myself because of how much it... Read more »
It would be difficult for him to make out a case for defamation, but he could sue you and make your life miserable for a while. Have you considered telling the story and just changing his name?
The letter would involve information on their lives, marriages, infidelities, and they are in leadership roles in their church.

Anyone can sue anybody for anything. So yes, they can sue you, and a court could order you to pay them significant monetary damages.
The other person involved in the car crash stated that he was not injured, and was not insured. He got out of the car himself, was walking around just fine, declined any help (ie. Ambulance and such). No pain according to him. Told the state tropper this as well. He is now making an injury claim on... Read more »
Let your insurance handle it. They are pros. I'll note that often people don't feel pain after the wreck because of adrenalin, they are freaked out and want to get home, etc. So it's not necessarily bogus, and your insurance company is very used to denying claims they think are... Read more »
The cop asked if he could search the vehicle. I allowed him. He said he found a roach in my ash tray. He then said that if there's anymore weed in the car you might as well tell me because I will find it. He found the other weed in a bag and took it for evidence and gave me a ticket and a...

It sounds to me like he forgot to bag the roach. It doesn't mean anything really.
