That’s a very sad situation. This isn’t something likely to result in litigation, however. You need to figure out if you want to remain in a relationship with someone who would do that to you.
The statute of limitations in Missouri for any misdemeanor is one year. The offense for making a false report in Missouri is a class B misdemeanor. Therefore, the statute of limitations for this offense in Missouri is one year.
cop asks if I have any paraphernalia in my home. And then states because I would hate to arrest your grandma is that a threat?
The best thing you can do is at the very beginning of the interrogation is to kindly state that you want an attorney present. The police are required to cease all questioning at that point. Before any interrogation begins, the police must first advise you of your “Miranda rights,” which... Read more »
Is this a civil matter that a criminal lawyer can handle?
Explain what you mean by harassed.
Why would a judge require me to do a hair follicle and urine test if he wasnt planning on putting me on probation
This is most likely a condition of your release (bond) while your criminal case is pending.
The court has the ability to raise the security level as to docket information so that it is not publically accessible on Casenet, but that occuring is the rare exception rather than the rule.

Several ways.
1. A dismissed criminal case does not appear on regular searches.
2. A not guilty verdict on a criminal case does not appear on regular searches.
3. If they received an SIS it would also be a closed record.
In 2009 I was charged for sexual misconduct which I received a class d felony. It should have been a class b misdomeaner.
See about reaching out to the court to see if it was a clerical issue. If not, I would speak with an attorney about your case.

It would be best to speak with your attorney on the matter and if you don't have one, I would suggest getting one as soon as possible. That affidavit helps, but it's unlikely to resolve the entire case against you.
When I look it up I'm only finding DEVIATE SEXUAL INTERCOURSE. Are they the same?
Does the indictment state the statute? I would look up the statute, not the title.
public defender, has little to no motivation to build a feasible defense
If you know your Missouri case number, you should be able to see it on CaseNet. Otherwise, ask for it from your attorney.
For drugs and there was some Marijuana found but I did not know about any of it now I am being charged with a class D felony and two misdemeanors, what do I do, how can I get these charges dropped?
See if you qualify for a public defender and/or speak with a criminal defense attorney.
Lawyer said she cannot give me legal advice on my case she advised me to ask someone who was not a lawyer for my legal advice
That's a very strange post. Were you asking your public defender for advice on another matter? It makes no sense that your criminal defense attorney would tell you to seek legal advice on your criminal case from a non-lawyer.
Regardless, the issue is not whether it is... Read more »
My husbands son was judged as above in Missouri, so how long will he actually have to serve? Does that mean that he will serve them together or separate terms?

It depends on what exactly he was convicted of as some sentences have mandatory minimums, as well as any prior remands to prison, and his behavior in prison. Ultimately we can't give you a good answer as it depends on details we... Read more »
Husband spent 24 hours in jail amd was released with a warrent given. Two weeks later he has a warrent, is this legal??
Yes. They can release you from jail and serve a new warrant or even one they forgot to serve previously. In fact people are often released from jail after 24 hours pending application for a warrant. Your husband needs a criminal defense attorney.
The prosecutor does not retain custody of people's belongings, but regardless I would speak to a criminal attorney to better help you with your question.
It shows up as "pleading guilty of a felony" it's preventing me from getting back my CCW which I had before after the SIS. I am trying to start a P.I. business and need this resolved. I served my country and still working for federal govt for totaling 32 years and hold a Top Secret... Read more »
