I'm being told that in Missouri, you have to REQUEST a speedy trial? From what I'm aware of, the (6th Amendment) Right to a Speedy Trial, is active by default and only changes if you formally waive your right to the speedy trial. This is for a criminal case with a felony charge if that... Read more »
You are right in your assertion that you have a 6th Amendment right to a speedy trial, however there are 2 different concepts of a speedy trial. Procedurally, you do in fact have to request a speedy trial and the court should set a trial date as soon as it is reasonably possible. Once you relay to... Read more »
My husband was murdered and the person who committed the crime was first charged with 2nd degree murder and unlawful use of a deadly weapon. Now the unlawful use of a deadly weapon is changed to armed criminal action and 2nd degree murder Which is worse? Armed criminal action or unlawful use of a... Read more »
First and foremost, sorry for your loss. That is a terrible thing to go through. Every situation is different, but typically a person who is convicted of armed criminal action in Missouri may have to serve a prison sentence of at least three years. On the other hand, an unlawful use of a weapon... Read more »

I don’t know what you mean about the state trying to charge you. It either has or hasn’t charged you. If the latter then you should hire an attorney to defend the lawsuit. It would be the state’s burden to establish culpability on your end.
A Contractor I hired to remodel my home merely covered ceilings with new drywall rather than removing damaged, molded tiles, insulation, & wood. He did the same with plywood on the floors. This was unknown to me until after I fired him & hired a new Contractor. The floors are now COVERED... Read more »
You could contact the Missouri Attorney General's office. If work was done poorly, as opposed to your money being taken and no work done, unfortunately that office is unlikely to go after the contractor on your behalf. You'd need to hire your own attorney to sue but before doing so you... Read more »
I know I didn’t do it.
You didn't ask a legal question but if you are wondering what to do you could contact a local criminal defense attorney if you thing there will be charges against you.
I was told that only the prosecutor can pursue the person who sued me in civil case and lied under oath, because perjury is a crime.
If that is true, how can I be sued for a CRIME, if not by the PROSECUTOR, in CRIMINAL Court????
Ok. To try to be clearer.... OJ Simpson was tried for... Read more »
I’m not following your post. Perjury is a crime and you seem to understand that a prosecutor prosecutes criminal cases. Some acts can be pursued both civilly and criminally. Think OJ Simpson.
I'm not sure what you mean by "a statement on yourself."
No. The 18-year-old is not a girl but rather a woman.
He also said he was investigating me for 22 days and built a case and closed my file and is turning it in to the PA and that charges will be filed.
What's a "criminal intelligence investigator"? Make sure this isn't a scam.
It could depend on who was on the other end and if that person is a party to the suit and whether you provide that it is authentic and whether you overcome any hearsay objection.
My sons dad passed away leaving his car to our son, naming our son TOD on title. The car not only was not returned to him but later,forged the title. I can't afford a lawyer. What else can I do?
Start by taking your son and the paperwork that you have to your local motor vehicle department and explain the situation to them. Also file a police report for auto theft.

Try writing in complete individual sentences ensuring that correct spelling is used. That way you inquiry can be fully and completely understood. No run ons
Does he have a case for not guilty. He had at least 6 more hours of his shift left. He works by himself.
Only an attorney with complete knowledge of the incident which would include a review of the police reports, an interview of your nephew and review of the law can answer that question
Thank you for sharing. No question
The driver must have a valid license.

You have made damaging admissions in a public forum.
Speak only to your attorney in private
Video surveillance is NOT required.
Would the law allow criminals to get away with a robbery committed in area with recording?

So if a police officer sees you next to a person, drives by, hears a gunshot, looks in rear view mirror, sees the guy on the ground. Cop turns car around, drives back, sees guy wounded and a gun next to him, the officer cannot arrest you because he first did not identify you?
many more in adition to jan reports
Please clarify your question. I have not idea what you mean by "jan reports."

Yes
Yes, you can hire an attorney if you know you are going to be charged, or you already have been charged but they have not set a court date yet.
