Yes, the judge can talk to the jury without wearing the robe. The robe is just cosmetic.

So sorry to hear about your son's injuries. The local government that owns the park could be liable depending on all the facts and circumstances. The issue is, what did the park or government staff do WRONG; how is it their fault? If you are asking if they are AUTOMATICALLY liable for any... Read more »
My driver's license is expired. I tried renewing online and was told I needed to show a copy of my birth certificate. I do not have a "valid" copy of a birth certificate. For those who are not aware, the Florida DMV is currently in the same state of collapse as most of their other... Read more »
Are you indicating that you have neither? How old are you?
It's depends on what you mean by "banning." The Condominium Act gives broad sweeping powers to the Board of Directors of a condominium association (COA) during a state of emergency. Those powers include the discretion to do what is necessary to protect the life, safety and health... Read more »
My HOA retaliated against me after being caught using my water in my property. At the same time my fence which was being replace was installed improperly, and it was fixed, did not allow me to extend it like other neighbors. They added a lien on my property after I sent my HOA dues and refuse to... Read more »
It doesn't appear to involve a federal question, so no, you can't sue in federal court.
If the prosecution's witness doesn't show up, they can't testify against you. If the prosecution can't prove its case without the witness, move to dismiss. You must arrange to have your own witnesses subpoenaed.
Volunteers/nonprofit leaving goods overnight.
City then uses such goods, and claims such property is owned by them.
If it's abandoned, and whether that is the case depends on all of the circumstance, it can be taken by anyone.
He had witnesses that testified and gave description that did not match him. He was young and black and lived in the area. He was sentenced to death but given Clemency by Gov. Bob Graham because they felt he was innocent. But still he can't get any help to help him to have his case looked at... Read more »
My guess, without seeing his appeals or the orders denying them, is that it was too late to file the appeals. To be certain, you would need an attorney to review them. I suggest that he contact the Innocence Project of Florida - see https://www.floridainnocence.org/ They investigate these kinds... Read more »
We gave 60 day notice per contract to move out at end of lease. I offered to do virtual showings, take pics, but landlord keeps sticking with "legally I can and will show it, just have to give 24 notice". I'm 6 months pregnant and have been working and staying home since March due to... Read more »
Not much. The landlord is basically correct.
You are asking if your employer can require you to give them notification before you get tested? Probably not, if you do it on you own time and at your own expense. But in any event the only way, that I can think of that your employer would know you are got tested would be if you told them... Read more »
You didn't ask a question, nor did you state how the window was busted. If you want to know if you can make a claim against the landlord and/or the tenant, I suggest you re-post with that question and with details.
There exists no phrase "corpus elicit" in the law, and probably nowhere else. Do you mean "corpus delecti"?
If so, that means "body of the crime" and means the evidence sufficient to prove a crime occurred. It would be unusual to use that phrase in a civil... Read more »

We really can’t offer the kind of advice you need, since we don’t have access to any evidence or investigation. I suggest that either you push your PD to put forth a defense or a fair negotiation, or retain a private attorney. Good luck.

What can you legally do when a 17 year old teen gets pregnant and runs away to boyfriends house?
Are you referring to your daughter, who is unmarried and has run away to stay at another home for more than 24 hours? If so, you may call the police, as the parties sheltering your daughter without your consent are breaking the law (Fla. Statutes Section 985.731), and/or you may call the following... Read more »
She told my parents now that she is pregnant she is emancipated. They told her she needs to go to court first to get emancipated but she refused and left. Is that true we live in Florida. Do my parents need to file a runaway child case with the police. Will they get in trouble if she misses... Read more »
No, she is not emancipated simply because she is pregnant. See

Read more »
Although I strongly advise you not to do it, Florida law will not prevent you from leaving home AFTER you turn 18 years old. Warning: that does not mean 17 years, 11 months; it means 18. (Being in school has nothing to do with it.)
An old friend of mine was staying at my apartment for about half a month. She never paid rent nor got mail at my establishment. She left belongings here after willingly leaving my home. I have not heard from her in two months. She comes to my door two months later banging and screaming threatening... Read more »
If you have any property that you know belongs to some other person the wise thing for you to do is to return the property to the owner. If you don't the owner can sue you under Florida's bailment statutes. They could also file a complaint with the local police department alleging that... Read more »
do i have all legal rights to drive "slow" through them AFTER giving them ample warnings and time to move. Now lets say i do drive and these people turn violent. do i just "floor" it and plow through them? Central Fl.
Go around. If, hypothetically, the "turn violent", what you might do would depend on the circumstances. But the best advice would be for you to avoid the situation.
The Waffle House I want to take pictures of is not abandoned, but I still think it looks cool. Taking pictures of said building might require getting really close to the buildings.
You left out the only important fact regarding taking of photos - what you plan to do with them. I suggest you re-phrase and re-post to clarify.
