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 »

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?
answered on Sep 23, 2018
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 »

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...
