Yes, they CAN arrest him, regardless of the outcome of your situation, but it is highly unlikely. The police officers that responded at the time made the decision to arrest you and not him. They could have arrested him; they could have arrested you; they could have arrested both of you; they could... Read more »

You asked if there are legal consequences for the 8th grader for telling someone to kill themselves. I don't think there is a "Yes" or "No" answer. I would suggest that most likely, "No", because an 8th grader is not likely to fully appreciate the severity of what... Read more »

Evidence to prove charges has been proven.
Of course I'll try to reason with him and I hope he doesn't follow through with the threat -- but does he have any legal grounds to have me removed if Mom wants me there? What if Mom isn't at home and the police arrive?

I don't know the trespassing laws but based on your description of the situation I think it would be best if you do not go to your parents' house for an extended stay. It seems clear that your presence will cause negative consequences for both your parents. If you visit your mother I... Read more »
I emailed a full version of a partial video the prosecutor already has in possession that is evidence to my case. I did this to ask her opinion on if it would help with my defense. She is now saying she is required to submit it as discovery even though I do not want to use it. is this true?
answered on Feb 14, 2023
I assume that you are a prosecution witness or the complainant. The prosecutor is required to disclose all relevant evidence to the defense, including your video, or she can be sanctioned.
I was cited for a dui by the state police and also had my car impounded. I am waiting to go to court on it this month. Why would they send me certified mail?

To have written confirmation that you were notified of the enclosed document.
Entered, began shopping. After a short time, the manager comes up and says she has me on camera with a sound bar shoved down my pants.
Then says so I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
Confused, I say, I don't think so; can I see the video. She showed. The video depicts... Read more »

An Oregon criminal defense attorney could analyze this best, but your question remains open for three weeks. Until you're able to consult with a local attorney, it may be best to stay away from that store. They could create bigger headaches for you than the loss of store points. Good luck

Actually a no contact Order IS a restraining order and while he can ask to have it lifted (you can't per se since the Order isn't directed at you), these sorts of requests are very common and are very rarely granted. You are under subpoena and your presence is NOT elective or voluntary.... Read more »

Public defenders are notoriously over-worked and able to devote limited time to each client. A private attorney works for you and will put in as much time as they believe necessary, assuming you can afford to pay them.
