He should have an attorney that you can ask for sure, or search his title in Claiborne County. After conclusion of... View More

1 year SOL from assault. You could sue for assault in General Sessions, but you will need to serve him. Damages may be nonexistent, with no medical proof. Collecting a Judgment may be impossible.

Hire an attorney to represent you in Court. At least call the Court Clerk and ask about the status of your Case. Getting arrested is not the disposition you want.

The Capias is a writ to arrest you. Then you may be able to post bond. Hire and attorney to take you to Court off the Docket, get arraigned and arrested, then be ready to make hopefully a reasonable Bond pending trial.

The County Sentence with the VOP is what you need to be concerned with. He might have to serve time there for the remaining Sentence or he might get more time to pay in full. He can ask to have jail time counted, but it is not mandatory for the other charging County to give jail credit.

What is your question? Criminal Discovery products must be examined by the attorney representing the accused. Otherwise it is ineffective assistance of counsel. However it can be difficult getting the discovery from the DA, especially in the eighth judicial district.
