Rarely do cops charge Simple Possession. They and the DA's want Felony Charges. Either they think you are in business with the Co-Defendant or you were in constructive possession of all incriminating items. Hire a competent attorney now, and prepare for a good Preliminary Hearing.
Is there a way to mitigate this testimony or interview the person prior to sentencing
They charged you with 1 round of ammunition they allegedly found under the microwave. It has never been fingerprint but, you get arrested

Before you do anything, consult with your lawyer. Remember anything you say (or write) can be used against you

This area of the law is very difficult and highly specialized. I would consult with a local employment discrimination attorney. He or she will know whether and how to position the case with the EEOC, the Tennessee Human Rights Commission or the Court system.

You have an attorney
Why have you not asked your attorney?
Without ALL the facts and other information it would be impossible to advise properly.
It would like going to a doctor solely with the urine test results and then asking how one's health is.

So, about two years ago a friend of mine had been charged with aggravated assault. An angry ex had done this to get back at him, but the charges were dropped. That's what his lawyer told him, but recently after his ex started speaking about wanting him arrested. The cops show up and arrest him... View More

I am a little confused about the exact status of your friends case, but a failure to appear is a felony in Tennessee, regardless of whether your friend knew about the court date or not. He needs to either get ahold of the court clerk or talk to a defense attorney - it is not unusual for a warrant... View More

Cannot understand your question, but I can tell you this. If it was seized for transporting drugs, then the boyfriend went to jail and your car is subject to Forfeiture. Call both the Police/Sheriff and the local Department of Safety Legal Office and ask if there is a Notice of Seizure under... View More
If DCS states that an incident that occurs with two kids under the age of 13 is not considered abuse, how do some kids get put on the sex offender registry? And some of them get sent to detention centers. Does it depend on the incident, I know rape and fondling are vastly different.
answered on Mar 22, 2018
Yes, generally placing a juvenile on the sex offenders registry is incident-specific
9 months ago my ex friend pawned my ps4 without my permission. He called his mom and lied to her about the situation and she pawned it thinking i was ok with it. I orginally said it was ok verbally about a month before but i said "I am no longer contributing to the bills" in writing 3x... View More
answered on Mar 21, 2018
If I'm reading this correctly, you are essentially claiming that your ex-friend stole your PS4 and pawned it off, correct? I'm a little confused about whether or not your friend accurately believed he had your permission to pawn the console.
If it is your position that he did NOT... View More
statude was 39-6-417 and appears to be amended to 39-17-418. this charge was nolle prosequi.
answered on Mar 21, 2018
If you believe your case resulted in a nolle prosequi, you may be eligible for expungement. Consider contacting an attorney to review your options - there have been various laws passed and amended in Tennessee since 1985 regarding this issue, and it can certainly get complicated!

Those eight charges combine to result in serious jail time - more than a decade. If you or someone you know is facing a charge sheet with all of these on it, I highly recommend hiring an attorney for representation

The Attorney General can take any charge and ask for an Indictment at the Grand Jury, whether it was dropped earlier or not. Only exceptions are where jeopardy attached prior to the dismissal or where the Statute of Limitations has run.

That depends on what your previous record is like, how you are doing in school, what your home life is like, etc. You should have an attorney represent you. If you can't afford one, ask for one to be appointed for you.
When I was around 9 or 10 I was helping a younger friend of mind get dressed and I was intrigued by their private area and I touched/fondled them, I’ve seen all these fondling allegations and sexual harassment cases and I’m afraid that I’ve done something severely wrong. Thanks for the help.

DCS doesn't consider it to be sex abuse unless the perpetrator is over the age of 12.
They took grand kids out of a perfectly good home, has not been helping find a place to house the children.
answered on Jan 4, 2018
You should hire an attorney to represent you. If you had another drug test that came back with a different result, then the court and DCS need to know. If you had custody of the children or want custody of the children, then you really need a lawyer to help you.

It's not illegal to have multiple lines of credit. But flex loans typically come with very high interest rates and you could get yourself in financial trouble if you can't pay them back on time. In that case, you could eventually be in default if you fail to pay and you could be sued for... View More
