The off duty guy said later that he... Read more »
No question stated here, but presumably the thought is "what can be done?" It's time to get a good criminal defense attorney, with drug case experience, on board. From the description, it may be that a pretrial motion attacking search and seizure should be considered, after all... Read more »
He was on probation. So how did they pick him up
No one can answer that question without more information. Consult with an attorney directly.
I have a criminal history, but I have been out of that lifestyle for almost 5 years and the cop also acknowledged that before he asked me to do this. Again, I was only pulled over for driving without a license. I'm not on probation and I had nothing illegal on me. So I told him I would think... Read more »
Sure it’s legal. I tend to think doing CI work to get out of DAR is a terrible idea. But that’s up to you if that’s something you want to do.
That’s impossible to answer without more information. Second degree murder would generally carry a significant prison sentence even with no prior criminal history. He is not going to get a positive outcome without an experienced, dedicated attorney. He needs an attorney ASAP.
While paying $840 per month for ankle bracelet/and alcohol monitoring system while on a $15000 cash bond pending trial,defendant is seeking jail credit.
An individual is not entitled to credit in such a circumstance. The case law is very clear that the alternative to jail that provides jail credit has to be "the functional equivalent" of being in custody. The typical circumstances wherein someone might get such credit would be in a... Read more »
I took a plea deal for 60 months on 2nd degree drugs and to toss out the gun which there was no prints on or DNA I was set for ras on 3/8 but due to the prosecutor not being ready because the big floyd case going on I was supposed to be let go until they was ready to proceed with trail I was...

This is information you should communicate to your public defender so that they can draft and file a motion to withdraw your plea. If you are unhappy with your public defender, you should hire a private attorney.
I am in Minneapolis, MN on 2 years of probation for a DUI first offense, BAC over 0.16. Part of my probation agreement is no alcohol use. I failed an ignition interlock test 1 year into probation, and this is the first fail. I was not locked out of the device and able to start itlater. Ignition... Read more »
That is not necessarily something that will be reported to probation. However, probation might become aware that your interlock obligation was extended and would also likely become aware if your limited license was suspended due to continuing violations of the ignition interlock obligations.
That would depend upon several facts not stated in the question. For example, a person may or may not be in lawful possession of a firearm. If not lawfully possessed, the person could be charged with an unlawful possession crime regardless of any self-defense issues. Assuming a person was in... Read more »
A search warrant was issued an executed on my residence That lacked Sufficent probable cause
You retain an attorney or get a public defender to raise the challenge to the search warrant. The prosecutor will be an attorney. This isn’t something you want to represent yourself on.
On going as we speak and every moment I am trying to seek legal representation and consultation im a continued victim of a criminal enterprise. I need a downtown lawyer to discuss legal strategy. The alleged perpetrators actions was not only criminal in its intent but deadly in its execution. I... Read more »
You should report any criminal activity to police. For a civil lawsuit, you should consult directly with a personal injury attorney.
I was selling my birds. A lady contacted me to purchase them, and proved she would not care for them right. I told her no, and kept looking. A guy contacted me and told me he would take the birds to his home in Wisconsin, where just he lives, and they would be his birds. 2 months later the woman... Read more »
I don’t believe there has been a theft. It sounds like you sold birds to someone who then did something you didn’t like with them.
sexually assaulted twice.She was brought to hospital both times.As her patents we need to get advice to help her any information you have or advice would be appreciated. Thankyou.
I’d suggest contacting an attorney directly. Most will give a free consultation. But this is more complicated than can be addressed in this format.
The charge is felony gun possession with ammunition possession and the accused is juvenile felon that was sealed years ago. The firearm is legally registered to another person that is legally allowed to own one, and happened to forgot in defendant vehicle but was not physically on the defendant.
Generally a plea is entered at the Omnibus hearing. It is not clear what stage the case is at. This person needs a criminal defense attorney ASAP as this charge can carry heavy penalties.
Honest answers plz
No. If there was a warrant it is likely still active. They do not just go away. You need to have an attorney help you get this cleared up.
I need honest answer
You haven’t posted a question so I assume your question is, how soon should I get and attorney? The answer is as soon as possible if you want to fight it. If not, wait to be arrested and go to jail.
I live in MN and my 39 year old son who doesn't live with me took my truck and ended up hitting a parked car (very little damage) leaving the scene, then out running the cops. Now they are telling me they can keep my truck, is this true? I knew nothing about it Thanks So Much... Read more »
It sounds like they are holding it as evidence possibly. You should have an attorney help you get to the bottom of this and help get the vehicle returned.
Would having having that disorder help me in court at all since it's so impulsive I feel like I don't have control over it even though I'm going to therapy to try I'm still breaking it Non-Stop and it's going to take time to get over that urge me and always keep on adding up these things
Unfortunately a mental health diagnosis is not a defense to prima facie criminal liability under the law. And for those who get a "not guilty by means of mental illness" disposition on their criminal record, will get reviewed in civil commitment court for possible civil commitment. But... Read more »
Vinelink says that he was out of custody - missing resync record. Whats does this mean, and where is he being held?
It takes sometime for an individual to be booked and for that information to appear online. I would assume that your friend is in the county jail where the alleged murder occurred. He or she will be held for a court date and then conditions of release such as bail will be set.
Is that double jeopardy seeing the the conviction was because it was said that the charge that I was convicted on came from the charges that was dismissed?
No. That is not double jeopardy. Jeopardy does not attach until trial. A dismissal doesn’t meet that requirement.
Family members got guardianship? Woyld you not be aware of criminal proceedings and would you get a care taker without your permission or your say so to whom it may be. Could law keep threatening daily with warrants and family
This question is incredibly confusing. It's unclear what is being asked. Criminal charges and a guardianship are two entirely different things and are unrelated to each other. A warrant could certainly be issued if you missed a court hearing on a criminal matter, but that has nothing to do... Read more »
