Something isn't fully clear because it sounds like you may be talking about a trial-level federal court and a high-level state court. An attorney in Montana could probably outline advantages, disadvantages,... View More

I would advise that you contact a lawyer to attempt to get your items back. Since there was a search warrant executed where you live, it may mean that there is an active investigation and thus it may not be a good idea to speak to law enforcement without representation.
Charges could... View More

A Montana attorney could answer best, but your post remains open for two weeks. Don't risk trespass charges - check with a doctor if your condition is a medical excusal AND additionally if those establishments will accept it. Good luck

Hi, the Fair Labor Standards Act requires you to be paid at least the minimum wage for all hours worked. If you worked any overtime, you would also be entitled to that as well. I would reach out to an employment law attorney in your state to discuss options.

Through s posting here?
You need to contact attorneys directly and individually

Yes, the defendant who has been convicted must be present for sentencing.
Wondering if this is legal.

Montana Code Annotated 45-5-503 discusses the penalties for sexual intercourse without consent. A minor does not have the capacity to consent legally so even if this is not forceful it would be what is termed statutory rape. I strongly suggest you avoid the chance of prosecution.

This depends on the situation. Generally the plaintiff, in this case the state must prove all elements of the alleged complaint. The burden may shift to the defense if proof is offered or there is an affirmative defense. I hope this helps.
