what is going on here that we don't know about? Are any of these conditions in writing? There is a dynamic here that seems to go far beyond the normal and way over the line. What crime is your step-son on probation from?

Here's what I don't understand. It sounds like there was very little physical injury. A couple of scratches and that's it. Normally an ADA doesn't go for the jugular like seems to have happened here. What more can you say about your facts that might explain this?

I'm not sure what help you need. It is difficult to understand what is going on (something about the house being burned down?) If the law did a great deal of wrong then I would think that your boyfriend would have a public defender who could assist him with the case, especially in instances of...

There is a remedy under tort law which is "intent to cause emotional distress" and I think that this may qualify. The fact that the officer waited for a time out to take you through the gym seems like enough evidence of intent and he took you through an inconvenient route. I would get an...

There is no statute of limitations that applies to the prosecution of a case if the defendant is evading prosecution. It wouldnt' make sense or else everyone would go into hiding and wait until the time period is over. I think the best you could do is turn yourself in but be prepared before you...

I'm so sorry to hear that. Was the prosecutor amenable to talking? I don't understand why she would plead guilty and pay the fine. What was the benefit of that and what could have happened if she lost at the hearing?

I am sorry to hear about the tough times your brother is having. :( I'm guessing that in his sentencing there was a provision that stated what would happen if he violated his probation. What did your brother do that violated his probation? Was it a positive drug test?

There is no question that NYClex is right about your getting lawyer. Much too much at stake here. Smoking weed is possession of weed as was the pipe. Never carry illegal substances for another person because it will expose you to problems. Hopefully your record being clean will help and...

You may have a difficult time with this since the bag was under the passenger seat of your car and the officer could smell it. On the other hand, if your friend claimed it was his and the napsack was his as well, you can plead not guilty since you were not in possession of the substance. You...

I am unaware of any law that requires you to subject yourself to the breathalyzer test if you are not the driver. The law in NJ is provided below as an example. I would plead not guilty and claim that you were illegally coerced by the threat of jail. There was no alcohol in the car. Neither of...

You'll have to ask the prosecutor. I'm not sure why you aren't thinking pleading not guilty especially if you didn't know that there was a single beer in the back seat. Perhaps a judge might wonder why another person would just bestow you with the good fortune of a beer without your knowledge...

I cannot be sure of what this means but it seems to say that the State might be willing to issue probation without adjudication of guilt. This would mean that if she completes probation the case would be dismissed against her. She should probably speak to the clerk of the court prior to the case...

It is possible that these were the keystone cops. Does the paperwork say that the signing officer witnessed the events or is this a standard form which the officer signed? Is there a statement on the summons to that effect? I'd question the procedure or you can call the officer to the stand and...

It seems like for many there is probation of some sort. I would be interested in hearing how this goes and hope it goes well.

You can be charged with possession if you use a substance as almost by definition if you are using or drinking something then you are in possession (even if just temporarily) of a substance. Looking at the definition below, all one needs to do is possess the substance. It doesn't matter how...

My thoughts are the same as Rathi's and it seems like we are missing something very big here. It makes little sense that officers would randomly choose a car and jimmy a lock to perform a search without even having any motive. There seems something we are missing here, which is not to say that...

I'm not 100% but this is what I have seen. 1) An expungement is not an appeal which would examine whether the verdict was wrong as a matter of law and could include a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, basically that your counsel was incompetent. Expungement is the ability to remove...

It's too late now for this post to do any good but I don't understand. If you know the court date then why do you think if the notice is lost you don't have to appear? If anything this could just be more trouble to deal with later. If you don't appear then you will have further issues to clear...

What state are you in? These cases are fact specific and may also concern how much you possessed and the time period between the last conviction. Multiple offenses can provide additional problems.

Are you saying that this person was on probation and wrote bad checks exceeding $21,000 while still on probation? Have you contacted the police or the DA's office? What do you mean the judge doesn't want to hear about it and why would you contact the judge? I'm not sure what you mean by...
