Children under 12 do not have to testify in sexual offense criminal cases see Section 15-25-31 of the Code or Alabama. It says "An out-of-court statement made by a child under 12 years of age at the time the statement is made concerning an act that is a material element of any crime involving... Read more »
An Alabama attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. I'm sorry you're still awaiting a response, but this forum isn't set up for attorneys to reach out to help you - you have to reach out to them. This is only a Q & A Board, not an attorney referral... Read more »
You are asking your child's other parent a question about where they are taking your child and they are ignoring you so to prevent them from taking the child you grab their keys. After doing so they push you into a window, twist your arm and punch you. Are they legally justified?
Of course not!!! But you already know that. You are being abused. See a lawyer. As an alternative, consider going to the County courthouse and swearing out a warrant against him for Protection from Abuse. (PFA) The Circuit or District Court Clerks will probably help you fill out the form.... Read more »
To assist with a motion for reconsideration, you should contact an Alabama attorney experienced in post-conviction work. These kinds of legal battles can be very complicated and should be handled by a competent attorney.
Please help before I go back jail I've did already 4 months an 2 years probation my probation was up last month an I'm still having to report color code I don't think it's right me being on color code
If you had an attorney when you first went to court, you should contact that attorney for help. If you didn't have an attorney, you have a few options.
If you have been compliant with probation and color code, you can try writing the judge a letter by sending it to the clerks office... Read more »
My husband was placed on 5yrs of Community Corrections in July of this year after pleading guilty to a possesion (Class D) felony. To make a really long story short, he checked in with the community corrections officer on 10-26-20 and taken into custody by way of bench warrant for failure to comply... Read more »
If your husband had an attorney when he pleaded guilty to the original UPOCS, you should contact that attorney. Defendants who are placed on Community Corrections supervision are in the custody of ADOC, so "revocation" and violations work differently than probation if he has been on... Read more »

It can actually be both. Since no work was done and he converted your money into his money and you got nothing for it, then that can be construed as Theft by Deception 1st, a class B Felony since he has taken your money and not returned. Talk to the police or sheriffs office in your county about... Read more »

My grandmother's possessions where being divided up and I had permission and a key from family. They accused me of stealing the things I took with me
If your question is whether or not a warrant may be issued without interviewing you, the answer is yes. If your question deals with the specific facts of your case you will need to contact a criminal defense attorney in your local area.
It’s where the prosecutor and the defense attorney get together before e the judge and figure out what the offer is, whether or not the defendant wants to plead or if he wants a trial.

The police are allowed to keep the firearm for evidentiary reasons, meaning it is evidence in a crime until that case is concluded. A case is not concluded until the person is found either A) not guilty or B) all appeals have been exhausted. If the person is convicted, I would anticipate that the... Read more »
Case from 2016 is what the police have in writing on reports and discovery but the video timestamp show a 2009 date.
It isn't useless information, it would be about the 10th or 11th most important thing I'd say during a trial. But, this isn't the smoking gun that get you off the hook if the video is otherwise good: meaning that it is clearly you and its obvious that your selling drugs on the video.
Timestamp on video is different from what police says when crime was committed. Reports show Feb 2nd 2016 a control buy was made. Video shows it was 9/26/2009.
No. If they have the confidential informant there to testify to the actual date it happened and also the police officers, then it will not matter what the time stamp on the video says.

The brief answer is yes, you can file a police report against him and the crime should be investigated. Alabama has no statute of limitations on sex offenses involving a child under 16, which means that your case could still be prosecuted. See Ala. Code Section 15-3-5. The more quickly you report...

I want to know the average fines and court cost for something like this
So what’s the question?
No it does not. You can also answer truthfully on a job application that you have never been convicted of a felony.
However, law enforcement does have access to it through NCIC. But it is not available to the public or anyone else.
To directly address your question, it depends. It depends on a multitude of factors that primarily relate to will the person be in lawful possession of the firearm. Alabama law allows for persons to carry firearms lawfully if certain requirements are met, for example, if the firearm is concealed... Read more »

You said probation was being transferred to MS. Until your case has officially been transferred to another state you must continue to report in Alabama. It’s probably for failure to report. But I don’t know, just guessing. The probation office in the county where he was convicted will be able... Read more »

In order to answer this properly any attorney would have to sit down with you and discuss. It sounds just from the little you have given me, that there is maybe a suppression issue. However you left way too many unanswered questions for a very good aniseed. I suggest you get to an attorney... Read more »
