Under Missouri law, a defendant can ask to withdraw his guilty plea if he can show that he was misled or induced to enter a plea of guilty by fraud, mistake, misapprehension, coercion, duress or fear.

Yes, it's possible for an attorney to negotiate a plea bargain deal in which a prostitution charge gets amended to a less serious offense. Of course, the outcome depends on the Defendant's criminal history and which court the case is being prosecuted in.

That’s terrible. Hire an attorney to seek to have that information not appear on Casenet. I don’t know why a judge would not grant a motion to seal or raise the security level of such filings.
Wasn't arrested or detained out even questioned about it.

There’s no way to know without seeing all of the evidence that is in the possession of the state. You have a right to something called discovery - this is the formal name for the process by which the parties to a legal proceeding gather facts and information in possession of the other party.

I know I won't be able to purchase a firearm if the seller does a federal background check. If I do get my card, would I have to turn my firearms over?

As of now, one who has a medical marijuana card in Missouri cannot purchase or own a firearm. This is not due to Missouri law, but rather the fact that cannabis is still federally classified a controlled substance This is a quickly-changing area of the law as there is pending federal legislation...

Honestly the best way to avoid a criminal conviction for any charge is to hire an experienced criminal defense attorney.

You didn’t state whether you are represented by counsel. If so, rely on your counsel’s advice. There’s no way for a stranger to the situation to give you advice on such an important decision.

It’s unclear what relief you seek. Small claims court is only for money damages. Okay you seek injunctive relief, such as an order into remove the defamatory statements, you cannot get such relief in small claims court.

The facts of your narrative tell a very different story.
If a person develops warrants from THREE different counties, in TWO separate states, and currently in is CUSTODY in the FOURTH COUNTY with no bond for five months that is not a mere coincidence.

I ran a criminal history report through the state of Illinois and it says no record on file does this mean I have no warrants, or no criminal offenses on my record and should be good to go correct. Please get back to me when you have time. I'm just needing it understood more if that is what it means

Not exactly.
The proper background check must be completed by any law enforcement agency. You may request a fingerprint background check from your local sheriff's office or police department for clearance purposes.

You can use Justia’s lawyer search tool but most attorneys would charge for their time. Perhaps contact a librarian at a law library.
There was two case numbers, one number apart from each other. The case the verdicts were issued on is the case that was dismissed

answered on Oct 6, 2021
It means that you are missing something. Juries do not decide dismissed claims. It wouldn’t make sense for a jury to issue a verdict on a dismissed claim.

The warrant will never go away until you take care of it.

Yes, you can file a motion to dismiss. However, file a motion to dismiss does not guarantee the Judge will dismiss it. You will need to show up to the hearing prepared to defend against the ex-parte, and ask the Judge if your can argue your filed motion to dismiss first.

Yes, if you have a warrant, it should show up on any standard criminal background check.

For speeding or for murder?
The answer to you question is “it depends.”
If you can be more specific, you are apt to receive a helpful answer. Different crimes have different ranges of punishment. The defendant’s criminal history may also be relevant.
