I did some work at her house. She didn't want to pay what the price was. Left the work and now she is accusing me of stealing her house deeds.
Anyone may make any type of accusations: the facts are these are just allegations.
She may call the police yet, the police will investigate that matter and in order to charge would need to gather enough evidence for the charges to be approved.
Secondly, calling immigration would... Read more »
I am working on a podcast. Append: Can Brian Laundrie communicate to his parents LEGALLY through his attorney while on the run? I heard conflicting answers. Also, is the attorney legally accountable for letting LE and FBI know Laundrie has been in communication with them?
more info needed.
i guess he could, but I would advise parents to keep their distance.
i assume he didn't tell them where he would be so they would not be in that position.
He doesn’t respond to calls or emails. Doesn’t explain anything. Didn’t try at all.

I am just trying to study some and was wondering if someone could just lose their constitutional rights?
Keep studying. If you do, you will find that one can never lose their constitutional rights. They might be diminished if you go to jail or prison, or other similar circumstances, but a U.S. citizen maintains her civil rights right up to death.
If someone went on a high speed chase with people in the car who consented to running from the police but then when caught accused the driver of forcefully holding them captive. But the victims not refuse to testify again the person in a criminal court,can the charge be dropped
There is no requirement that the victim testify in court, and depending on what other evidence there is, the charge may still be proven.

if it is the same courthouse, I would think the PD would automatically handle it by adding to the calendar and moving to quash the bench warrant.
i would probably merge both cases and work out a package deal if possible.
