CASA stands for "Court Appointed Special Advocate." It is a national program. Some states contribute to its funding, others don't. It receives national funding. If a CASA "volunteer" is involved in your case, it's because a judge appointed them to be involved. If... View More

i was threatened by a neighbor, saying he was going to shoot me, i told the manager and he refused to give me money back.
answered on Jul 16, 2020
Probably not. You have a contract that is between yourself and the Extended Stay Hotel, Inc. If you get a copy of that contract and read the fine print, it probably says that your failure to pay when due is a breach of contract and may not have any exceptions such as "neighbors who threaten...

Can the same evidence be used repeatedly?
answered on Jul 15, 2020
Absolutely! As long as the evidence can point to multiple people it will not be deemed "double jeopardy." Double Jeopardy protects us from being punished twice for the same (or similar) crime (or acquitted). The evidence would have to have a close nexus to more than one defendant... View More

The child support "program" in Idaho goes like this: we (Legislature) want PARENTS (rather than taxpayers, to pay for children! It's a "policy" enshrined in our codified laws. So, its very simple math: natural parents were 100% jointly, financially responsible for their... View More

Judges will ofttimes resort to the “record” to “prove” that something you said or the way your mouth moved or a facial tic of your lawyer WAIVED your constitutional right to a speedy trial. Problem is that this right only applies if you’re still in custody (180 days)! Most people would... View More
We've had 2 welfare checks and 1 cps visit in the last month regarding our children. Both the cops and the cps worker told us the kids have nothing like whats being reported. It is extreamly stressful.

If you knew WHO (for certain) was making false charge calls (that’s the key) then a police officer might take a report from you for “disturbing your peace” or “filing a false police report,” both of which are misdemeanors!

This is an easy answer. BYU Idaho is a private college. They didn’t have to invite you to attend but they did. You accepted their rules. If you want to now pick and choose which of their rules you’ll obey then my guess is that you’ll be expelled very soon! If you could prevail with a... View More

This sounds like a situation wherein the actual prosecutor believes he/she’s a witness to an NCO violation, perhaps a jail call (that they listen to). It’s a much trickier charge to get out of since the threat of amending the charge is easier than you’d ever imagine for the State to prove.... View More
