In North Carolina, just like making a u-turn, you are allowed to turn right on red if it is safe to do so and not marked that you can not do so.

Yes.

Thanks for your inquiry.

We normally take a look at the official record before we comment on availability. That's because sometimes things are different in the official record than people understand or recall.

Is there some way I can . . . (fill in the blank with what ever legal issue you have). Yes, there is - hire an attorney who knows what they are doing. If you had transmission trouble and you aren't a mechanic, you'd never think to yourself, you know what, I'mma pull that sucker out... View More

GREAT QUESTION

In large measure, it depends on what the Court of Appeals Orders. It may send it back to the Superior Court (or District Court if a Family Law legal matter) for further findings. It may result in a re-trial. It could result in the imposition of a Judgment and it could end... View More

More information is likely necessary to answer the question. It SEEMS like the inquiry is whether the Probation Officer can require the person on probation to live somewhere where there aren't guns.

That's certainly an interesting fact-scenario, especially nowadays, when... View More

First, lets get terminology straight. In North Carolina it is Driving While Impaired or DWI not DUI. If you got 12 months of active time on the first DWI that you were on probation for then it is very likely that DWI was not your first and / or was a higher sentencing level than your average...

Probably not, but we do not know enough facts, and you needed an attorney back when you asked this question.

You needed an attorney back then. When you ask a question on a forum like this, it is understood that you need to actually seek out legal advice from an attorney.

This was asked well over a year ago. When you need legal advice, you need to go get it from a local attorney instead of waiting for someone to answer a question. I hope you have found an answer to your question. Basically, appeals are very limited.

Yes, if an appeal is even possible.

Were they transcribed and made a part of the record?

Yes, but that depends upon the actual facts, and there may be post conviction relief available. In order to find out, you have to have a full discussion with a private criminal defense attorney.

Usually, the government will appeal an adverse ruling on a motion to suppress or a motion to dismiss. You can do an internet search for this case and read it yourself, can't you?

Appeals are quite complex and appellate courts do not hold new trials. So, the best thing to do is speak with your appellate attorney.

You hire the best appellate attorney you can find. You stand virtually no chance of being granted cert. by doing this pro se.

In addition, the appealing party has to show that not... View More
