In practical terms, the failure of officers to "knock and announce" does not usually mean that evidence taken or discovered from serving the warrant can be suppressed or excluded. The US Supreme Court took up this question in a case called Hudson v. Michigan, 547 U.S. 586 (2006), and... Read more »

Often, criminal complaints (aka “charges”) are not actually filed until your first scheduled court date.
If it is your first OWI, it is also very possible that all of these offenses might be handled as civil ordinance violations and not criminal charges.
It is pretty complex... Read more »
Yes. Illinois v. McArthur. US Supreme Court in 2000
Straub hospital in Hawaii ?
People are found not guilty for many reasons. There aren't enough facts to answer this, and also any answer would be hypothetical because what matters is what the DA thinks they can prove--and what they can't.
was prescribed Zoloft and then began exhibiting unusual self-destructive and risky behavior such as shoplifting, could the fact that this drug lists these behaviors as side effects be an adequate defense in a retail theft case?
There are many side effects to Zoloft, and I am believe depression may be one of the side effects. However, shoplifting is a not a side effect Zoloft. It might help provide an explanation; however, it does not negate the shoplifting charge. You should find a local attorney in your area to help... Read more »
Criminal law In Wisconsin
A a person that can also be charged for the same criminal episode as the defendant. In other words if two guys steal a car the would be co-defendants.

He has an attorney. He should be discussing this with his attorney.
If he does not like his attorney's advice, then retain a different one.

Class I Felony, Delivery of THC (party to the crime). 18 months probation. I failed 3 drug tests, one of which was my first day meeting with the probation officer, and was never revoked or had a violation hearing. At the time of sentencing I was told that expungement would be available once... Read more »
The law is that you must successfully complete your probation. That differs from whether you were revoked. But given that you were not revoked, I have question about why your case ended up back in front of a judge. Expungement is supposed to happen automatically when the clerk of court receives...

More information is needed to provide meaningful advice. You cannot be arrested for (or charged with) possession of prescription medication without having a valid prescription absent probable cause. So unless you had a large number of pills or confessed, it would ordinarily be difficult to get to... Read more »
He has made many sexual comments to me about my fiance and I'm trying to stay out of trouble and not react wqhat should I do
There are many avenues for you to try, most not really requiring a lawyer. You do not want to intensify the situation. You could try getting a harrassment injunction in Wisconsin--see your Clerk of Courts. You could call the police or sheriffs dept. There is a fine for telephone harassment. i... Read more »
I'm currently on parole in Colorado and know I can't get it expunged at least until parole period is up. Crime occurred when I was age 23 or 24. Wanting to know about possibility and cost. Thanks.
Have to 25 years old or less and judgment of conviction at sentencing references that possibility. Age, and, if not requested at initial sentencing you may be ineligible. Bring more specifics to a Wisconsin attorney. It could work.
I was sentanced to a month in jail for an OWI. when I reported to the jail to check myself in, they took my ID and had me fill out paperwork on my health. I turned in the paperwork n waited in the lobby for 2 hours. They never cuffed me, and were closing so I left. I checked the jail roster... Read more »
You have to do the jail time or use up credit if you were in jail before bailed out. Contact the jailer immediately. Do not assume you have done the time. You can face additional charges if you make a mistake or assumption here. See a lawyer if need be, NOW.
My anger managment class is almost done . do I half to get my ged or do I go to jail if I don't I'm 20 btw
Not enough information. if you are on probation and those are conditions, you can't get off probation until that is done. There might have been an imposed and stayed jail sentence which could send you to jail for non compliance. See you original attorney or consult one. Bring your... Read more »
Sometimes a crime will have a nexus in two different states, so the answer is yes. The dropping of the charge in one state is not determinative here. Perhaps the state of Wisconsin was the preferred juirisdiction. Sounds like a federal offense is also possible. Not enough information to... Read more »
Probably not. Might have to plea, but due to his age his attorney should ask at sentencing for the ability to ask for expungement later which might be better than dropping charges, because it then can be wiped off CCAP. Must plead to all charges however and none dropped for it to work.
Will they show conversation texts and pictures/posts that were sent and received to his phone?
It will all depend on whether there are motion hearings or a trial in your husband's case. These are "evidentiary" hearings where such things may be put on the record. I strongly suggest that your husband obtain counsel as soon as possible. We would be happy to discuss the matter with him.
I'm a cook at a pizza restaurant that has a bar in it I work in the kitchen none of my violations for probation or my crime had nothing to do with my job
You don't reveal your crime of conviction. The bar may have everything to do with the request to quit. Don't kid yourself. They can revoke you or request alternatives to revocation. Do you work regular hours. How long have you had the job. Not enough information.
Correction: class I felony ,$750
Yes, but probably not. He should at the minimum, at sentencing, ask for the chance for future expungement.
police come, ask 2 questions then arrest me. they did not ask me my Maranda rights and took me to jail. bail was $850. I am recently divorced and won the house in the divorce & i just recently refinanced it and now only in my name.
I do not see a question. Miranda rights are read so any statement you make can be included in the case. Perhaps your first two answers can be excluded. Is the charge disorderly conduct? I think you should see an attorney and get discovery.
