Yes you could have been arrested. If an officer is in a place where he has a legal right to be ("plain view" test) and he observed a controlled substance and you he could have arrested you. Although proximity (being in the same place) is not enough to convict you of possession... View More

If a prisoner dies and unable to complete his restitution obligations, what happens next? What type of letter does his attorney have to write?
answered on Jul 28, 2019
Your question doesn't make any sense: if the prisoner is dead he can't be compelled to pay restitution or to do anything else.

It would not be the job of the lawyer who represented the Defendant to do anything. It would be up to the recipient of the restitution to file a claim for the unpaid amount against the Defendant's estate.

Once a victim files a criminal complaint the victim has little of no say over what the state's attorney will do with it. You can try to ask the case worker to help you withdraw the criminal complaint; however, the state does not have to do that.

You would know if you were a victim of a crime. Simply being present when someone is arrested does not make you a victim.
No longer active.

The DEA can arrest you for something non-drug related. If you were approached by a DEA agent, I think that you should contact an attorney who could then reach out to the agent to determine your roll in an investigation. Perhaps you are simply a witness, but you could also be a person of interest... View More
Iwas at a medical unit and caused all kinds of problems and did not get my surgery that was approved by DOC
