and judge already set a bond of 10000 without being served etc. charged with engaging in organized crime. what is the chances of getting bond lowered if they know they cant pay that amount. and or how long can they keep them in jail for if they cant afford that bond amount

It is possible for you to file an Open Records request. Louisville Police are veryslow in replying to these. So basically, you can file an Open Records request for 911 call and body cam but it’ takes time. It is. Supposed to be within three days, but that rule is often violated.
Charged with a felony of wanton endangerment because during self defense of a threat to my life I fired a shot into the ground to scare away my threat

In Kentucky, the reading of Miranda rights is generally associated with custodial interrogations, not the act of being arrested or handcuffed. Law enforcement officers are required to provide Miranda warnings when a person is in custody and subject to questioning. These warnings include the right... View More
answered on Sep 13, 2023
If you satisfactorily prove that you were not read your Miranda rights, any statement you may have made to police after you were arrested ought to be excluded from evidence at your trial. It does not affect the lawfulness of your arrest or whether you will be found guilty based on other evidence... View More
