You need to file a police report for the theft of your horse and the tracking device he put on your vehicle. Tell the cops everything he has done to harass you. You may get a restraining order. He may go to jail.

It sounds like you were under the impression that as long as you completed the IOP program before your probation ended on 08/20/2024, you would be in compliance with the court's order. If the judge did not specify a completion date for the IOP program, your understanding seems reasonable.... View More

You will need to read the Arrest Warrant and see what probable cause for the stop, detention, search and arrest is cited. If it looks questionable, prepare for a Preliminary Hearing. Hire a competent attorney. If indicted, then the Motion To Suppress should be made at that Court.

She will probably be booked, involving search, fingerprints, and mug shot. This is more convenient and cheaper than being arrested. The important thing is to take care of that DL.

When facing new felony charges, the state can sometimes use prior convictions to enhance the sentence, depending on the laws in your jurisdiction. However, the fact that your previous charges are over 35 years old might play a role in whether they can be used against you. Different states have... View More

Husband needs to hire a good attorney now. He will need to lower the bond if possible, and definitely prepare for a Preliminary Hearing. Victim might not show up, but Courts usually give the DA 2 0r 3 times to get his witness to testify. Do not talk to the victim/witness again.

If you are at General Sessions, then you make a Motion To Dismiss as all elements not shown. If Indicted, then you may have to try it and make a Rule 29 Motion at the end of the State's Case. Hire a competent attorney.

It is up to to the DA to decide what criminal statute he prosecutes under. Do not help him put you in jail. It is up to your lawyer to make a Motion For Judgment Of Acquittal or maybe (a big maybe), a Bill of Particulars.

I do not know what a 1-8 split is. But boyfriend needs an attorney now. The retaliation charge alone will merit a large bond if one is set. Any charge, not just a conviction, is a violation of probation. So he will probably at least complete the 4 year Sentence incarcerated, and may get... View More
