I went to court unrepresented, the judge was upset with that and locked me up. I do not recall any formal reason from him other than that. I stayed in jail for two weeks just to qualify for public representation. I wasn't given forms to file for one until the district attorney was called and... Read more »
most judges are reasonable and quite tolerant in terms of giving you time to secure private counsel to represent you if you bond out of jail.

The falsehood was a flat out lie that I had no business at the courthouse on day in question. That my sole intention was to be there to harass and intimidate a person who has a protective order on me. There can't honestly be a valid reason he didn't know that I was the petitioner and the other was... Read more »
It wouldn't be perjury, but it could be considered prosecutorial misconduct. The reality is that there is very little that can be done about these types of misrepresentations. It would just be passed off as a "reasonable belief" based on the informations and evidence they had at the time. The... Read more »

Obviously, we would like to have the police take this more seriously and to investigate more thoroughly, but that doesn't seem to be happening.

If the facts are exactly as you have prevented them, the police are wrong. Your brother needs to hire an experienced criminal defense attorney to fight these charges.

I was watching this video about a woman being arrested for not signing a ticket. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMaJOtOu5M8. It seemed questionable to me that the exchange between the officer and the woman was "You're not going to sign the ticket?" "No. Because I..." "Step out of the car." "Why?"... Read more »
It is your duty as a person present in the US to follow the law. Officers are not required to tell you the law. They’re responsible for enforcing it.

A lot more information is needed before I can try to answer that question. You should consult with an attorney licensed in Oklahoma ASAP, especially if you have an upcoming jury trial.
Yes if the facts show that the wife indeed neglected her husband. Being 100% disabled does not stop someone from possibly committing such a crime.
Very important. The search must be within a specified time from the date it was signed by the Judge. If outside that time, the search could be quashed in Court.
