If the Judge ordered a Sentence then there was a Conviction, and it was a Misdemeanor at General Sessions Court which was not bound over. Apparently he has one or more charges that were initiated by an Arrest Warrant at Sessions which were not disposed of, that is no conviction nor dismissal. DA... Read more »

Generally, you cannot successfully sue someone unless their actions or inactions caused you to suffer actual legally compensable injuries. Your question does not mention any such injuries, and it is difficult to imagine how the facts you describe would likely result in any such injury.

My dad is being held in Claiborne County TN with no bond and also doesn’t have any court date set for anytime in the future according to jail records when called and asked about it. How is such a thing like this even legal, if it is?!?

Has his attorney looked into this? An inquiry could be made to the pertinent Court Clerk, Sessions or Criminal Circuit. But most importantly, his lawyer should be working on this.

Police only have to read you your rights (Miranda rights) if they intend on questioning you after your arrest. Once you are detained, the officers should mirandize you and only get a statement from you after you've waived your rights to an attorney and against self-incrimination. Anything you... Read more »

It will definitely be an Escape, and probably a Felony. A FTA Warrant might also be issued. The Judge that granted Furlough will handle the Case and will be very unhappy. The Defendant should immediately turn himself in at jail or at Court with his attorney if a charge has issued. Otherwise... Read more »

Those are at least two Felonies, so the State is trying to put you in prison for years. Hire an attorney now, even if you have to make weekly payments. You will not be able to adequately represent yourself.

Maybe...Was a Forfeiture Warrant issued? If so, you must go through DOS which does not need a conviction to forfeit property. If no FW, then your lawyer may want to move the Court to return former evidence to you. Ask your lawyer or hire a competent one.
