Is there a way we can get her bond reduced or any other way to get her out. She is willing to do whatever it takes to get home to me and the kids
It really depends on the facts of the case. Assuming that your fiance is a first time offender, then there is a greater likelihood of her getting her bond lowered to something more reasonable. I would be more concerned about why law enforcement is charging her when she did not have them in her... Read more »
Am I allowed to have guns in other states? Theres so many different ways to look at it
Generally under federal guidelines, anyone with a Domestic Violence charge on their record won't pass a federal background check to purchase firearms.
The person they were riding with had their gun in the car so the charges were enhanced? First time offender so what's the worst case scenario? What kind of time are they looking at?
They are looking at some considerable time, given the number of dosage units involved. That being said, even with a firearm enhancement, there is still a possibility of having it resolved with minimal or no jail time; however, it all depends on the circumstances. I would highly recommend reaching... Read more »
My husband and one of his friends got caught spotlighting and a gun was in the truck. They took the gun gave it back to his dad. He went to court, paid his fine and that was it, a year later the feds got him for it. He had already went to court over it .what's going to happen
There really is no telling, without knowing the exact charges on the federal side. Even though he may have paid a fine in state court, if there is a violation of federal law, then the relevant federal agency can also pursue it.
One person signed off for the affidavit and signed off on it too.
In Mississippi, typically the officer or person bringing the charges signs the affidavit, and then the affidavit is sworn to and then signed by the court clerk or a deputy court clerk.
In Mississippi, typically, a felony affidavit is signed by the charging officer or complaining witness/victim, then it is sworn to in front of the justice court clerk or a deputy clerk.
The rule book says there much be a time on a warrant.
It depends on which portion of the search warrant that you are referring to, as well as the issuing court. If it is in federal court, usually the time frame in which the warrant can be executed is included. If it is in state, it is best practice for the issuing officer to include the date AND time...

What you will have to do is draft a subpoena and present it to the court clerk for her to have it issued, then at that point you will have to have someone (not you if you are a party) serve it on the person.
Can the same person that signed a felony affidavit be who also signs off on the affidavit too?
In Mississippi, there are really only two people that can file a criminal affidavit: the first is the alleged victim of whatever crime is alleged; the second is an investigator or law enforcement officer. Usually, depending on the nature of the crime, it is an investigator who files a felony... Read more »
Could the Apartment Owners be liable for damages to my car. The Apt. Manager was informed several times in the past year of a person who was banned from Apts had been selling drugs
A Mississippi attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It could be fact-specific in terms of security measures. There is no universal "yes" or "no" answer. Good luck

Likely not. Even if it does not have a firing pin, usually it is still treated as a gun transaction. Your best bet it going to be to get with an experienced criminal defense lawyer to see what the facts of your case are and see what can be done to help you out.

I have no prior charges or criminal records what are my possibilities?
With aggravated assault, that is considered a violent crime. From the looks of it, the DA is going to try to add firearm enhancements to the charge, which could lead to serious jail time. The biggest problem, though, is that even though this would be your first felony, if you are convicted and... Read more »

I assume you are referencing the new DUI law that became effective a few years ago. For a person to be charged with a felony DUI 3rd offense, the offenses must have occurred within the past 5 years. This law is still good law as it relates to a 3rd offense; however, the legislature added a felony... Read more »
