It was from a domestic violence but it was also all a lie. But was scared into taking this plea due to my “inexperience” of dealing with the court and could not afford an attorney at the time. I have got a gun since and vary soon after and passed the background check.

If the brother could not possess weapons because of a juvenile conviction, there are several issues.
1) If brother truly could not access the safe, then your BF should get the safe back.
2) the picture may be enough for a probation violation on the brother.

Friend obtained a 5th wheel through purchase 5,000$ some time after transaction became aware it was stolen is there a certain time limit where it would no longer be considered stolen property or be considered a criminal act to have possession of such?
It wasnt receiving stolen property when you bought it, but it became a crime sometime thereafter whenever you became aware. There may be a statute of limitations several years down the road. If you know the rightful owner, why not see if you can get some of your money back and return it.

In normal circumstances he cannot be held for more than 24 hours before being picked up or a bond being set. That is assuming that this is the first time that he is being arrested and this is not an arrest on a bench warrant.

The accused has the right to an attorney. But if you cannot afford an attorney, you'll need to contact the public defender's office in the county where the charges are pending to get representation.
Generally, no. The appeal decision could be delayed by many reasons, some not having anything to do with the case.
My felony conviction never got a prelim or my charges were not presented to a grand jury for indictment
A grand jury indictment is not fundamentally required, and the question of whether a PH occurs or not depends on the charges, custody status of the defendant and any potential delays that amount to a waiver of the right. An appeal on these issues may not be likely but you certainly should consult... Read more »
Got All 3 felonies same time. Haven't been in trouble sense. Would love to just be able to go hunting again. I've really missed out on a lot because of chosing to do something so stupid so long ago.
There is an application process you can follow. I suggest hiring an attorney. I've had success doing this for several people with old felony convictions, some quite violent.

No, once you plead & are convicted, the case can’t be reopened.
The grandmother of his girlfriend was ok with there relationships but now is freaking out and I'm just trying to look out for my little brother and don't want to see him go to jail
Yes. When they get mad at him, he could be charged with Unlawful Transaction with a Minor. He should be VERY careful.
Property receipt, I’ve been told that I can go retrieve the items they took from my room. Is this true , as they took $ 2300.00 from me that I had been saving. No charges have filed on any of the individuals there nor the home owner.
I would advise that you contact a lawyer to attempt to get your items back. Since there was a search warrant executed where you live, it may mean that there is an active investigation and thus it may not be a good idea to speak to law enforcement without representation.
Charges could... Read more »
