Apparently you have not been charged with a crime at this time. So no, no Court yet. That money will be subject to some type of Forfeiture, and if you want it back, then a Claim filing and a Court Hearing will be necessary.
for example the whole forest gets caught on fire and it damages everything bad enough is it still a life sentence or a death sentence and if not a death sentence what would be a situation where it will be a death sentence or even if its possible to get one?

Aggravated Arson is a Class A Felony, so no death penalty. If a death occurs, then a possible homicide charge could result in addition to the arson charge.

Only some Class E Felony Convictions are subject to Expungement in Tennessee. Very Sorry... I am afraid that your lawyer should have told you this. You may wish to apply for a Pardon from the Governor.

The next of kin should be able to dispose of the body unless there are contrary express wishes. Write the Warden a polite letter and suggest arrangements be made and scheduled. Legal Suit is not a viable option.

This sounds like it could be something to discuss with a Tennessee attorney in confidence - but your post remains open for four weeks. If you need a defense attorney, you could reach out to them here (Find-a-Lawyer tab above), or conduct your independent search for one. Good luck

First make a written demand to the Chief of Police or the Sheriff to return your weapon. Then you need to file suit for Conversion against the City/County and the Officer that took the firearm with a SOL of 3 years. All this costs money and time, and many firearms are not worth the trouble. There... View More

Not sure of your question. But you might hire a competent attorney to examine the Judgments of Convictions. Sometimes post-sentence motions can be made for the Court to examine the exact sentence imposed in relation to another.

The victim showed up at the defendants residence me and my boyfriend and wont leave so i made him leave so he wouldn't get in trouble is that not violating the order for the victim to come to the defendants residence
answered on Apr 29, 2020
No it is not. If this happens again to make sure that the defendant does not get into trouble I would call the police and let them know what is going on.
No contact order in place due to aggravated assault and the victim showed up at defendants residence does the victim violate the order? what should the defendant do?
answered on Apr 29, 2020
The defendant needs to call his/her attorney, police, as well as document and save any proof that the victim made first contact. The victim does not have bond restrictions from seeing the defendant, However, the police and attorney need to be made aware of the situation to protect the defendant.

It is not illegal if your neighbor thought you committed a crime involving his property. If there is a warrant then you are going to need to call the Sheriff's department and see if they want you to turn yourself in. Because of COVID-19 , people with warrants are being booked then released... View More

As to the auto policy, you probably have no cause of action since you have no damages at this time. Unless it is provable it hurt your credit rating or something, there is no case. You could file a Declaratory Judgment action to get your name off, but you should just call the Carrier and complain.... View More

Hire a competent attorney to negotiate any prospective restitution to victims. Talking to victims directly is always bad, and make a bad situation much worse.
When questioned regarding what the agents were looking for, all I was told is "evidence of crimes" and "we can take anything relating to our investigation--papers, computers, phones, even the house, your passports, and bank accounts if we want."

You need to hire a competent attorney today. Although it appears no Indictment has occurred yet, you need to be ready to attack the SW and attempt to suppress any evidence it generated. Also do not communicate with anyone that might have something to do with this such as friends, associates,... View More
