There’s not really a question here but you should file an appeal if you believe that you were wrongfully convicted. I presume that the government had other evidence such as third party witnesses or out of court statements, but it’s impossible to weigh in on the conviction with the limited... View More

It is unclear what your "federal tort" claim might be. Contact civil rights attorneys directly about this issue.

Since such a meeting would be by agreement of both sides, one side could set a condition like that. The other side would be free to refuse, or accept the condition. So the answer is yes, but by agreement. The target could refuse the meeting without the spouse, but then the AUSA could refuse to... View More

More information would be needed to consider that. If a person were charged with a crime related to possessing or firing a gun, the gun itself would be important evidence. If the only evidence of such a crime were a video recording, there may not be sufficient evidence of identity, or of the act... View More
If Supreme court Minnesota ruled it unconstitutional, are we bound to obey the Unconstitutional Order of interstate Commerce, while living in another State?

I assume you are referring to the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA) but I am unsure where you received your information. It is not unconstitutional for a state other than that in which you live to enforce a child support order against you. If this were the case, every person who wanted... View More

Consent is not a defense to the statutory rape of a minor in the state of Minnesota. Thus, marrying this individual would not result in the charges being dropped.
