And reported it stolen so he has an F2 for robbery and physical harm but I don’t want to go through with anything

Well, you can talk to the prosecutor about it. Occasionally they decide not to move forward with a case based on new info or an uncooperative victim. In this case it would help A LOT if you could show them you found the phone. If you don’t have it, they probably aren’t going to believe you... Read more »

Some employers are exempt from the record sealing laws and can see a sealed record. Adult records are never truly destroyed. The basic rule of thumb is that any employer who will put the physical safety of living human beings in your hands is exempt: hospitals, schools, law enforcement, day and... Read more »

Maybe but you would need to post your question in the Ohio section not the New Jersey section to get the correct answer for that state, thus I suggest you repost your question.

Yes, the State can and probably will proceed to prosecute. The question of whether or not the confession comes into evidence will be decided by a motion to suppress it. If it does come in, and it probably will, then the defense is free to argue to the jury that it is unreliable but how much weight... Read more »

If she forged his signature you will need to 1) report the fraud to the police and 2) file a declaratory judgment action against her to unwind the transaction.

The search warrant affidavit is almost certainly marked counsel only. The defendant's lawyer can share the contents of it with the defendant but cannot actually give the defendant a copy. The defendant should ask to speak with his or her attorney regarding the contents of the affidavit.

Most court websites have docket search features which allow you to search for cases by party name. The federal courts have a service called PACER which allows you to do so for all federal courts as well.
If a person with a broken leg or arm is possibly still a threat and tries to harm me but I defend myself is that considered self-defense or assault?
answered on Aug 10, 2022
You are permitted to use proportionate force to defend yourself. It all comes down to reasonableness. Is it reasonable to shoot a person for slapping you in the face? No. That's not self-defense. Does it matter if your attacker has an injury like you say? Yes, to some extent that will inform... Read more »

Have you spoken to the landlord? Drug use is a reason a tenant can be evicted and landlords generally do not like it because they can actually be criminally liable for permitting drug abuse once it is brought to their attention.

Yes. You have to tell your lawyer to file it ASAP and allow the layer to explain the circumstances to the judge. If you have plead already they will ask for a relief from judgment.

This means you are no longer under any court orders. You are finished with probation. Depending on the charge you can seal it in either 1 or 3 years if it is a sealable offense.
Someone called police and said there was a body at a house and said it was my grandson that called. It wasn’t we heard recordings and he was with me all that night.

If the police have probable cause to believe that the cell phone was used for a crime, or contains evidence for a crime, they may seize it.

I bought and titled the vehicle before the search. Dont they have to get a new warrant since the target vehicle changed ownership
?
answered on Jul 10, 2022
The warrant relates to the car as owned at the time when it was issued. Therefore the popo does not need to get a new warrant for a vehicle that transferred ownership while under the original warrant.

I don’t know what it means to “be on colors” in Kentucky, and I am not an attorney in Ohio, however cannabis possession in Ohio is unlawful whether in public or your home—possession of under 100 grams remains a misdemeanor. See, generally, https://norml.org/laws/ohio-penalties-2/

An Ohio attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. By now, you may have already done so, but this is something to be discussed with a defense attorney.

It sounds like the case is still in the pre trial phase so an appeal would be untimely. The basic timeline is arraignment, pre-trials (discovery and negotiations), either plea or trial, sentencing, and then appeal.
Found delinquent at 15 in Ohio for domestic violence due to an altercation with my brother. Will this prevent me from being able to apply for a Concealed Carry (CCW) license? Is this something that is ever expunged, being a juvenile record and occurring 16 years ago?

You should make sure this case gets expunged. Once that’s done, you shouldn’t have any trouble.
