When there is more than one charge on a filed case, the Court may give an aggregate bond (bond for all the charges together) instead of having a separate bond amount for each count. Although it is a simpler way for the Court to manage bonds, it can cause some problems when the Defendant's... View More

The transcripts of any hearing or trial are normally public record and are available to anyone who is willing to pay for them. If you go to OSCN.net and look up the case, specifically look at the hearing or trial you are interested in, and find the name of the court reporter. Call the county... View More
A 16 year is called (A) to the office in the presence of a police officer and questioned but the student says he does not want to discuss the matter until his parent is called; the police want to search the student for a vape-based on a rumor from another student (B) and (A), who has no prior...

Great question, but the answer is a bit complex. The complexity comes in the form of an overriding issue of safety of the other students. Now, considering the accusation is only of a vaping product, they are standing on thin ice with the argument of public safety. Asking for the parent to be... View More

That was always the conner with the change of the law. The police are making an effort to stick individuals with possession with intent to share or distribute, and near schools and churches. There are some interesting arguments to this though. The prosecutors always want to argue that it is... View More

There is a larceny by fraud charge that may apply, but it is really more of a civil issue. If the vehicle is $10,000 or less, small claims court may be an inexpensive way to get a judgement on the person and gain access to any assets they may have. Boeheim Freeman Law... 918-884-7791
Will this come up in my FBI background check?
answered on Oct 31, 2019
Read the application carefully, some ask for convictions while others ask for arrests. Convictions will certainly appear on the FBI employment background check, but only some arrests for the past 7 years will. Also, some type of tickets and citations will also appear. These... View More

Now they issued a bench warrant with a cash bond ! Y do I need to pay if

If a case is dismissed by the State, they can refiles at any time until the Statute of Limitations has run. By paying the court costs it prevents them from ever refiling as it would be double jeopardy.

I am not sure what the question is, but I will assume you are asking what punishment you may be in your case. The punishment under Title 21 O.S. 1706 is a misdemeanor with 0 to 6 months in jail and $10-$500 fine. The deal should be a Deferred Sentence probation of 6 months, or something in that... View More

This is like a law school essay. The only possible charge might be conspiracy, but the evidence is way too thin for a conviction and even a probable cause hearing. The anonymous tip is not enough on its own without some corroborating evidence. The only way the prosecution might get there is if... View More

He needs a good attorney. The prosecutor either has video or a third party witness and is trying to strong arm him into a plea. Obviously, I don't have the discovery (evidence) to give you any more guidance, but make sure he doesn't give a statement to police and get him an attorney... View More

Because it is a juvenile, the punishment is limited, and if it was just reported to the school and didn't involve police then the criminal statute below might not apply.

I am not entirely certain what you are asking, but let me take a shot at answering. A person may be found to lack capacity to stand trial. For this to happen a hearing must be held after a psychological evaluation to determine is the person understands the charges against him/her, and is able to... View More

In Oklahoma is it a violation of an Emergency Order of Protection that says I can not contact my ex wife to send my Mom to pick up my kids for my court ordered Visitation
answered on Sep 26, 2019
Unless the protective order specifically states an exception for communication it is a violation. Any contact is a violation otherwise. The violation is not about the kids, but instead is about the communication. There are specific parenting apps, which are normally recognized by the courts as... View More
