I've never heard of a retailer suing in such a circumstance. Can you enlighten me? I would think the store had an $8.00 store dick on the payroll already who turned Nikki over to the local police at the store. The state then handled the prosecution of the case. Where would all the expenses...

xrishansen, Even though the others answering your post seem to assume you are guilty of whatever you're being charged with and your're making up the diabetic thing, I don't agree with their opinion. I hardly think that being found sitting there naked and confused at the crime scene is "going...

thelawprofessor, Do you work for JC Penny? I think the state (you and I) paid for the prosecution of this gal, not JC Penny. And JC Penny got their merchandise back. I think Nikki paid her debt for what she did. Why don't you tell her the real situation... that JC Penny is just trying to...

Wendy, I believe Senior Judge is correct when it comes to the law. His answer is typical in that in our current criminal justice system one of the things they try to do is isolate the accused and try to eliminate any help that family and friends can offer to someone they want to convict...

Mafioso, The term "prosecutorial integrity" is a laugh... if it wasn't so serious an issue. We're talking about our very freedom here. And I mean free to persue your happiness versus locked up in a cage for a very long time. I really appreciate your advice. Tangling with these prosecutors...

Mafioso, Why wait till after a trial? Can't this kind of misconduct proof be used as leverage against the prosecutors either during plea negotiations to avoid trial or during a trial? Also, are you referring to a different article or the one I linked to? Thanks, -Dave

Carl, Thank you for your response. I have asked this question of at least two lawyers and didn't get an answer. I was hoping someone here could answer. -Dave

That's very interesting. Can you tell me more about the case so I can look it up?

mafioso, Thanks for your answers regarding the additional charges and the grand jury stuff. I will talk to my son and he will probably try to end this asap given there's a chance of more charges. I wish I hadn't encouraged him to continue with the appeal. I was still hoping for some kind of...

mafioso, Thank you for your response. First, we can't afford any more $ for lawyers. We already spent over $40k. My son's state appellate defender won the appeal, but even after multiple requests for the info we need he will not respond. The reason I was asking about the grand jury is...

This situation is in the state of IL.

The state is IL.

A friend of mine... called the police (their non-emergency number) during normal business hours and recorded the call without stating that the call was being recorded. The investigator said some things that would be very useful to the defense in a criminal trial. Is the recording of the...

My son was convicted of delivery of a controlled substance and involuntary manslaughter in a jury trial. He was acquitted on a charge of sexual assualt. He was sentenced to 5 years (the max possible) on each count and served the sentences and is done with parole. When I say "the max possible"...
