Offers on cases can vary wildly based on the facts, the record of the defendant the prosecutor and the judge. Obviously this person is looking at felony time but if they have no record at all they still have a chance at probation if they have a past record of drugs they are more likely to do some...

I will contact your local County Attorney or Police and pursue criminal charges of Harassment and Theft of Identity. You can also hire a civil attorney to write a cease and desist letter to her and if it does not stop you could pursue a lawsuit.
Get their probation revoked will their original sentence start all over or will they still be able to use their prior jail/prison time (good time,) towards their original sentence or will they have to start all over and do the full time.

He or she will get credit for any and all time served on that particular case. When out on parole, a defendant get credit for time on parole, "street credit."
I asked about my ex getting a 1st degree strangulation charge a few days ago. When he went to jail I told the police I didn't want to worry about the epo, I just wanted to get my things and leave. But I'm wondering if me not getting it will make the court think differently than if I had... View More

If there are pending criminal charges that is much more serious than an EPO. The court and the prosecutor will not drop or lower the charges just because you didn’t file for an EPO.
Will he have to leave

It’s a class c felony which carries 5-10 years, enhanced to 10-20 years if he only has 1 prior felony, and enhanced to 20 to 50 years if he has 2 or more prior felony convictions.
Boyfriend and I got in a fight. He tripped me. I pushed him in defense. He tackled me. I told him to get out. From there it turned into a mess of me panicking thinking he was going to hurt me and restraining him. Police came. Arrested no one. He said I choked him. Police noted no physical marks on...

Dropping the charge is solely up to the prosecutor snd usually unlikely to happen in a domestic violence case.
I have no car! Will they come get me for misdemeanor missing court? From Indiana ? I’m confused was I final sentence to a misdemeanor or felony charge? Probation

Your cases appear to be misdemeanors and you will need to appear for your hearing.
My husband had surgery last Wednesday and was given opiates for pain. He’s also bipolar and takes his meds religiously. The opiates he was prescribed caused him to be manic and he became aggressive and assaulted me. He is 49 and has no criminal history. What are the chances of these charges being... View More

Domestic violence charges are not typically dismissed. If you hire an experienced attorney and both of you work with him that will help lessen the charges.
I was with my sister and her husband she was the one who scanned everything and I didn't

It is not normal to get jail time on your first offense for shoplifting unless it is a very large amount or something else happened. Did you have an experienced private attorney representing you?
More than 2 grams. Just curious how much jail time we're looking at.

Persistent felony offender enhances offenses up to two levels. A lot of times you can negotiate a plea deal and get rid of the persistent offender in exchange for plea of guilty. The big hammer with persistent felony offender in the first degree is that some offenses turn into mandatory 10 years... View More
He's been in jail now for a month and has been taking classes for anger and drugs. He's clean and going to go to rehab once he gets out of jail.

It’s solely up to the commonwealth whether the charges get dropped. That isn’t likely to happen.
We reviewed the footage and we have video of him putting his phone on the counter next to the computer and waving the cards over it is that enough proof?
answered on May 29, 2021
Should be, especially if he left with the merchandise and you have the coinciding register receipts for the transaction.
Also he got transferred to a work release facility what is this for exactly? It’s not popping up that he has parole eligibility on there just what he was originally in there for. Is this for the privacy of inmates? I don’t know I’ve been waiting for him for 15 months Im losing my mind thank you.

You can contact the facility where he is being held or you can contact the Department of Corrections to determine eligibility dates. You can also check http://kool.corrections.ky.gov/

A person loses many rights and liberties when they are incarcerated. There is no specific law that allows them access to mail. Your best bet is to have his lawyer make a motion in the court or talk to the warden or ahead of the jail. If that does not work you can always have a power of attorney... View More
