A buis judge can use any excuse not to sign a motion that is actually a law and hold someone for day and days past the 60 day rule.

It would be best for a Kentucky attorney to advise, but your post remains open for four weeks. As a general matter, bills unfortunately remain due. If you could consult with the attorney representing you, they should be able to offer guidance on what measures need to be taken. Good luck... View More
Sent your motion to circuit judge, can the judge legally take a week to sign I mean we could not submit the motion until 60 days passed so how long can it take judge to sign
answered on Aug 25, 2020
The time is up to the judge. He can sign immediately or he may not get to it for a few days, but there are no time constraints within which the judge must sign.
If a teen has bad grades and gets in trouble at school a lot will that make them less credible or have bad character? How will that affect them in court if they were testyfying?
answered on Aug 23, 2020
If the records are beneficial to you, you go get the records and I traduces them. If they are not helpful, then don’t get them and hope the other side doesn’t either. Negative school records affect the credibility of a teen just like positive ones do.

They are trying to defend the defendant(their father) and are telling the truth, but are very nervous and scared because they are scared of the prosecutor and losing their dad. Will their nervousness be considered normal in their situation? Or will it make them look like a liar?

Nervousness is just a part of the process. It shouldn’t affect their credibility.
I obtained the dogs legally, months after he was arrested, but before I moved out of the house we shared. Is this grounds for violating the epo? How do I report this? Is there a motion to the courts for this? Meaning will I have to go to court again to testify against him?
answered on Aug 22, 2020
Those are not grounds for violating the dvo. Go to your local county attorney and file a criminal complaint for violation if an epo/dvo, which is a class A misdemeanor. They will prosecute him for the violation.

My neighbor set up a birdhouse camera on his tree next to my properties fence line. The only view it gets is of my yard. I’m assuming it’s to film my dogs barking but I’m also think the flashing lights on it are provoking my dogs to bark more.
answered on Aug 17, 2020
They can film you. No different than a surveillance camera. If you think the lights are inviting the dogs, have a security expert observe them for you. If their opinion is the lights are inciting the dogs to bark, then you can take action.
Maybe facing a receiving stolen property charge, on a piece of property I was unaware was stolen to begin with, was caught in possession under the direction of who I believed to be the owners, boy was I wrong. To be charged they have to be basing on prima facie evidence, correct? I am unaware of... View More

No. They only need probable cause yo arrest or charge you. A prima facie case Is the burden needed to get past a directed verdict at trial. You should hire an experienced criminal defense attorney who can analyze all the facts and them develop the best defense to rebut that proof.

The jury can only say yes or no to what is presented to them, but if lesser included offense instructions are given, then they can vote yes or no on those as well.
