I have to agree - that story stinks. I hope you do not truly believe that fairy tale. In the end, all of these types of stories fall apart. Your family members need to hire separate attorneys and work out whatever deal they can to TRY and keep them out of prison and minimize any jail time...

Then that is AT LEAST a misdemeanor, and arguably a felony! What REALLY happened, then, was a potential felony domestic battery offense ... if what you say happened was worse, wow! What did you SAY happened? Clearly they didn't simply decide to flip a coin and ask the god of random coin...

I seriously doubt he was charged with WATCHING child porn. More than likely he was convicted of possession of said porn. What specific statute(s) has he been convicted of violating? That being asked, kiddie porn is heinous and, yes, maybe even unforgiveable. 7 Years and registering as a...

Yes, it might help to have an attorney. We don't know what CPS and the police know, but if they took your kids already as a result of the DV I strongly suspect this is not the first incident, or the allegations of abuse were bad or involved the kids directly. CPS just doesn't take kids because...

Maybe. The first question that comes to mind is, "Why?" WHY would someone just give you a prepaid card and allow you to pay bills with it? Is this person rich? Is this person someone who owes you money? If so, how and why? Most of us would ask ourselves, WHY is someone just giving me a...

California almost certainly will not come to get you. But! That also means that any arrest warrant(s) will remain active (and as felonies) for the foreseeable future! If your employer - or any future employer - does even a rudimentary background check, the warrant will likely be revealed...

Holy smokes! And when we get 6" just west of here, they freak out! :eek:

Gee ... it's sunny and chilly here ... our laws and social system here may be fouled up, but you generally can't argue about the weather!

I do it part time now, and am looking at some community college opportunities, but would much prefer to work towards a PhD and teach or conduct research at the university level. ... <sigh> if only I had thought to do this a decade ago!

Ditto - not at all. About 9 in 10 arrests do NOT require Miranda rights. While some agencies have a POLICY (or informal practice) of Mirandizing any prisoner taken into custody, this is not the status of the law, and the law does not require Miranda on an arrest. Miranda is generally only...

I'd appreciate any leads or ideas. :) Thanks.

Sociology, Education, Admin of Justice or Public Services ... or related fields. :)

Not much snow hereabouts. It's been dang cold at night, but no big snowstorms; only mild flooding and high winds in winter and spring. Now, if anyone knows of any programs out there where I can earn a stipend while earning my PhD, please forward me links or contact info! Financing a PhD...

Let's see, a non-alcoholic New year (but this was my 23rd such alcohol-less celebration), a late sleep, an early rise to work, and looking forward to two more birds flying from the nest in the summer. This year will see some very extreme changes in the Java house as we will have dwindled from 6...

Since you got pregnant as a minor, it is exceedingly unlikely that a court will grant you emancipation since you clearly need greater supervision, not less. As such, you have to live where your parents say (or permit) until you are an adult at 18. When you are 18 you can take whatever mom and...

So, what brought this up after 8 years? And did you plead guilty? Or, were you convicted by a jury? Chances are it is too late to file an appeal or to sue anyone. Since you have been found (or pled) guilty of the possession of a firearm charge, you would have to somehow refute this with...

Have you spoken with the police? It might be a crime to send harassing emails to you, but laws vary by state and I am not certain whether Alabama makes this a possible crime. So, you might want to start with the police.

Short answer: CAN it be evidence of a crime? Sure. Will it be THE definitive evidence that would get him sent to jail or prison? Probably not. Absent some other proof of the sexual relationship, their communication might be alleged to merely be fantasizing. But, if she told other people...

What code section were you charged with? A theft of $200 would be petty theft per PC 488/490.5. I'm guessing you were charged with commercial (2nd degree) burglary per PC 459. Were you convicted? If so, you might be able to apply for an expungement. Check this site for more info and...

Are you and the father living in the same home? If so, what is it that he is supposed to do and NOT doing? The short answer is, maybe. Depending on the reason for their intervention they might be able to get a court order to remove the children if you and dad fail to follow the parenting plan...
