I'm a victim in a domestic violence case but want the case dropped. I was not served the subpoena but got it in the mail. I've heard from other people that I do not have to appear but I do not want to be in contempt.

Getting it in the mail is service of the Subpoena. You should appear.
Assume theft charges have been filed (I don’t know how guy would’ve been caught otherwise). And when I say can he keep the money I mean to use after he serves his time. Can he refuse to return the money?

A cyber criminal who steals billions and gets caught is facing decades in prison on both a state and federal level. He or she needs to hire an attorney ASAP. As for the money, they will do everything they can to get it back. It will be ordered as restitution, if he is convicted. The government will... Read more »
I want charges dropped. Subpoena was mailed not served. Do I have to appear at the pre-trial?
answered on Jan 22, 2023
Yes if you were subpoenaed. Some judges work on DV’s at pre trial.
No chl charges date back over ten years

Yes. If the parts are for an illegal firearm such as an uzi that fires multiple rounds with one trigger squeeze, there may be an issue.
Otherwise, no gun permit is needed in Ohio.

Trespassed from? Do you mean Stay Away order? If it’s the latter, yes it is trespassing, as the judges sheet will have a determined amount of distance you must keep from said store. Even if not, once you touch the door you are trespassing
Disorderly conduct. I now have a new case in Texas for Injury to child that I'm taking to trial. The prosecutor wants to bring up my old original charge, can he do that?
answered on Jan 20, 2023
A prosecutor may bring prior convictions of dishonesty, such as fraud, or any felonies. Disorderly consumer does not fall within these, and is what you were convicted of.

You need to talk to a lawyer in Texas. The rules vary from state to state but the prosecutor may well seek to introduce such evidence as evidence of prior bad acts even if you do not testify and even though the offense is neither recent or serious as convicted. It's evidence rule 404b in Ohio... Read more »

You Could. The Judge may not like you representing yourself pro se. I think it is risky considering all your WONDERFUL accomplishments. What happens if you make a mistake because you don't know the law, and that causes you to suffer a setback? Plus, I want you to consider the following,... Read more »

It seems threatening. But that it to be determined by police or prosecutor. Due to the serious nature of this communication, I would report it to the police. Even if they decide not to pursue it, you will have something on file. Plus, I would print/document/copy the threats. You may be able to... Read more »
Standing requires an injured party as complaintant so if the state of ohio filed criminal charges in common pleas if there is no injured party would the state lack standing ???
answered on Jan 12, 2023
If this is a criminal case, and the crime occurred within the State of Ohio, then venue is appropriate. The fact that there is no injured party does not make a lack of standing. For example, traffic tickets, speeding and the like, there is no injured party. But, there is a violation of the... Read more »

Where you serve your sentence is determined by the correctional facility.

Yes. Anyone charged with a crime that posts bail will be released regardless of co-defendants ability to post bail.

As long as you weren’t found guilty of domestic violence, you’re good. It has to be a misdemeanor of violation to prevent purchase. If you’re steaming about her charges, I’d hold off on buying a gun.

Treatment is an option, if you qualify, as opposed to jail. It depends on your facts. First, you must plead guilty for the court to sentence you. The court can’t force you into treatment. Discuss your options with your attorney.

In Ohio, after entering a plea of not guilty, a trial date must be set no later than 30 days. You have the option to waive time and extend this provision.
