Your case is in New Hampshire, but you posted this inquiry to Fla. attorneys, who cannot advise you unless they happen to be a member of the New Hampshire Bar. In any event, this is definitely not an issue that you can get an answer to from any attorney, anywhere, simply by posting an on-line... Read more »
my son (15) stole a Trump flag and his 18yr old friend got cited (petty theft 2nd degree 1st offense) for it. Now the friend wants my son to sign an affidavit admitting that he did it so this friend can take it to court. Can my son now get in trouble for it months later?
If you admit to a crime you can be prosecuted for it unless the Statute of Limitations has run. The State will have to have evidence that a crime occurred before that admission would be admissible. You never want to see an innocent person prosecuted for something they didn't do, however your... Read more »

I never told anyone. 38 years later, I told another priest from my childhood. He never reported it to anyone including the Diocese of Orlando or Florida’s DCF. Did he commit a crime by not reporting abuse that happened when I was a teenager? Are mandatory reporters supposed to report past cases... Read more »
He is not, in my opinion based on your assertions, a mandatory reporter. The priest hearing your confessions is not required to make a report under the circumstances you are alleging.

While the recording of the call might be considered illegal if in violation of the consent laws, it's use as evidence probably would not be excluded unless it was done by the government.

This is a continuation of a prior question ("Can son press charges on ex-girlfriend who ran over his foot and drove off in his car?").
I am sorry to inform you that there may never be an answer to this dilemma because the dispute involved two different kinds of insurance companies--neither of which will ever accept the claim.
In most jurisdictions, no. One of the conditions of bond is that you not commit any new crimes. The new charge will violate the conditions of bond on the old case. The State or the Judge on their own motion can request a revocation of the bond on the first case. You are going to need to speak to an... Read more »

Whether criminal charges may be initiated is solely the decision of law enforcement - either the police or the State Attorney's Office (prosecutor's office). If the reporting officer refused to either charge or commence a criminal investigation, you could try the intake office of your... Read more »
He does the complete opposite and just brushes me off and acts as if I'm stupid. Can I take a legal waiver, fill in my information and correct areas, and send it in without him? Basically forcing him to follow suit in a way. Will my forms be legal?
If you are represented by an attorney, strictly speaking you cannot file documents on your own. You should consider asking the attorney to withdraw and either proceed pro se (generally not a good idea) or get another attorney.
This is a domestic violence case involving my 20 yr old daughter. The judge imposed the order in the beginning and said it would add to his charges if violated. He calls her from prison daily violating the order. Can she get in trouble by taking these calls? These calls are coming to her cell phone... Read more »
You should notify the State Attorney that he's calling and violating the Order. Keep a record of the calls. Your daughter should not speak with him, but if she does the only thing she should say is "don't call me". Inmate calls from jails are recorded, so there will be a record.

Addressing the FL case. Is it possible for the extradition to be canceled. If so how does he go about it?
He would need to address the validity of the extradition in Georgia, a Georgia lawyer would be a more appropriate source for this information. Best of luck.
