That should be at least one C Felony. The Reckless Endangerment can be a misdemeanor or felony. It may have been an illegal stop, for which suppression motions are made. But his speeding will probably be the reason now for the stop. He needs an attorney to prepare for a Preliminary Hearin.... View More

Apparently you have not been charged with a crime at this time. So no, no Court yet. That money will be subject to some type of Forfeiture, and if you want it back, then a Claim filing and a Court Hearing will be necessary.
for example the whole forest gets caught on fire and it damages everything bad enough is it still a life sentence or a death sentence and if not a death sentence what would be a situation where it will be a death sentence or even if its possible to get one?

Aggravated Arson is a Class A Felony, so no death penalty. If a death occurs, then a possible homicide charge could result in addition to the arson charge.
How can they charge him with the aggravated burglary when i was the one who let him come in thru my bedroom window and he never stole anything never damaged anything? What can i do to get these charges dropped or dropped down to misdemeanor

You can't do much. He would be wise to hire an attorney asap.

I don't know what could happen without knowing more facts. He "could" have a case of self-defense. It's important that he gets an attorney immediately. To prove his case he will need witnesses and any other evidence that it was self defense. You can help by gathering as much... View More

Only some Class E Felony Convictions are subject to Expungement in Tennessee. Very Sorry... I am afraid that your lawyer should have told you this. You may wish to apply for a Pardon from the Governor.
answered on Oct 1, 2020
This sounds like it could be something to discuss with a Tennessee attorney in confidence - but your post remains open for four weeks. If you need a defense attorney, you could reach out to them here (Find-a-Lawyer tab above), or conduct your independent search for one. Good luck

The next of kin should be able to dispose of the body unless there are contrary express wishes. Write the Warden a polite letter and suggest arrangements be made and scheduled. Legal Suit is not a viable option.

First make a written demand to the Chief of Police or the Sheriff to return your weapon. Then you need to file suit for Conversion against the City/County and the Officer that took the firearm with a SOL of 3 years. All this costs money and time, and many firearms are not worth the trouble. There... View More

Not sure of your question. But you might hire a competent attorney to examine the Judgments of Convictions. Sometimes post-sentence motions can be made for the Court to examine the exact sentence imposed in relation to another.

The victim showed up at the defendants residence me and my boyfriend and wont leave so i made him leave so he wouldn't get in trouble is that not violating the order for the victim to come to the defendants residence
answered on Apr 29, 2020
No it is not. If this happens again to make sure that the defendant does not get into trouble I would call the police and let them know what is going on.
No contact order in place due to aggravated assault and the victim showed up at defendants residence does the victim violate the order? what should the defendant do?
answered on Apr 29, 2020
The defendant needs to call his/her attorney, police, as well as document and save any proof that the victim made first contact. The victim does not have bond restrictions from seeing the defendant, However, the police and attorney need to be made aware of the situation to protect the defendant.

It is not illegal if your neighbor thought you committed a crime involving his property. If there is a warrant then you are going to need to call the Sheriff's department and see if they want you to turn yourself in. Because of COVID-19 , people with warrants are being booked then released... View More

As to the auto policy, you probably have no cause of action since you have no damages at this time. Unless it is provable it hurt your credit rating or something, there is no case. You could file a Declaratory Judgment action to get your name off, but you should just call the Carrier and complain.... View More
