No, sorry you cannot and should not contact the judge directly. However, your attorney can contact the AUSA to discuss your case early and not wait until the arraignment.

Whatever the rental contact states. No way to say without first reading the clothing rental agreement.

Honestly no. Why is it your friends problem to pay to ship you your stuff.
Most attorneys cost over $200.00 per hour so your best bet is to pay to have your stuff sent to you.
There also seems to be more to the back story than being told here.
I was in the video but I wasn't charged with the crime some one else is going to curt and I was wondering if i could be completely blurred out since I have nothing to do with the case and not charged

So you want your image obscured when the video is presented to a judge or jury? Probably not, but you could ask the prosecutor. Why, is public knowledge of the fact that you were there likely to damage your reputation?
I'm being charged with Felony Larceny, trespass. My ex-girlfriend filed charges when we broke up because I took MY DOG with me.
Florida says they can't post bail until Virginia does something and Virginia says they can't do anything until Florida post bail.

I'll assume you are having someone posts this for you, since jails don't provide we surfing to inmates.
That said, your lawyers should have explained how the state extradition compact works, so you know you can either waive or fight. The governments grant each other time to secure... View More

Of course, you are addressing your mortgage and the bank or other mortgagee. The mortgage has notification requirements and other applicable provisions. Would have to see your mortgage. Would also have to see escrow statements. I have personally seen a number of fored placed flood insurance... View More
His release date says the same thing, but he's not in the federal prison. He's in the county jail? We can't see his charges. It only says Awaiting Trial
answered on Jul 21, 2017
It's possible that the federal prison system has asked the county jail to hold him for them, pending the federal trial. The feds may not have a prison very close to the federal courthouse.
To find out what the charges are, you can go online and search PACER. You will be able to see... View More
Are gun license only needed for pistols?
answered on Jul 19, 2017
Federal law requires that you be at least 21 to buy a handgun. Florida doesn't require that you have a license to possess either a handgun or a long gun. So if you want to buy a rifle you shouldn't have any problem. Check with the gun shop to be sure.
answered on Jun 12, 2017
Probably neither.
Florida Statute 16.09 pertains to reports by the state attorney; it is not a criminal statute.
Florida statutes pertaining to crimes begin with Florida Statute 775.01.
Federal statutes are, for the most part, in 18 USC Section 2, et seq. What you are... View More

You won't find a specific law that says it's allowed. Each circumstance under which the police seek to charge a convicted felon with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon will be very fact specific. Your procedures appear to insulate him from access sufficient to prevent such a... View More

Is the initial aggressor in a fight solely responsible?
Not always. Did you have an opportunity to retreat? Did you escalate the fight or continue when it could have been ended? In Florida, we have the stand your ground rule, a no duty to retreat law, but that will not always help. Who is... View More

You are probably able to do so, but I assume what you really mean to ask is whether you could get in legal trouble for doing so. The answer is "yes".

A defendant in a criminal case is not guaranteed the right to any particular venue. However, the defendant can request a move for change of venue citing various reasons such as: pretrial publicity, improper venue, or interests of justice. Interestingly, “interests of justice” is a catch-all... View More

If you are doing business in the U.S., and if in the course of so doing business you violate a U.S. federal statute, presumably you can be sued in the U.S. for damages resulting from such violation. If the statute includes a fine (in addition to actual damages), the plaintiff could recover those... View More

It is doubtful that he was indicted pursuant to a stipulation. Normally an indictment is made with a grand jury, prior to any involvement by any attorney for the defendant. And in any event, it seems undisputable that Internet usage, provided that the computers involved are in separate states, is... View More

Impossible to outline on the internet. You retain a lawyer who knows how or check trial/evidence books out of the library and learn in the dozens of hours it will take to do.
Anonymous Person Show Victim Photos & Video of defendant But Never Give The Police A Description of the defendant but pick him out of a line up

"You" don't. Your lawyer can file a motion to suppress based upon a suggestive photo array or lineup. Fourth amendment litigation is not a field in which lay persons can expect to succeed.
