Oh ok, I didn't knw the circumstances of your dilemma. Yes, if you can call the store manager and ask him to pay for the merchandise, that will look much better on your behalf. However, the judge will likely make you pay it anyway. They'll likely put you on Pre-trail intervention and it won't...

You have to expand on some of these questions. Why would you want to contact the prosecution. They are not on your side. If you want legal advice or to hire a lawyer, you should do so as soon as you can. If you haven't done so before you're arraignement and you want to hire one, do so now. They...

No you're not. The Miranda rights are to protect yourself from saying anything incriminating to officers in the heat of the moment. So they warn you so that you know anything you say after that moment is officially on the record.

No, your first court appearance is called your arraignment. The only thing an arraignment is for is to plead guilty or not guilty, nothing more. If you plead not guilty, the paperwork will go to the prosecution so they can get their case ready for the new "trial" date. If you plead guilty, the...

Just to be safe, there's a full proof method of finding out what's on your record. Go to your local sheriff's station and ask for your background check. It usually costs $5 and they'll give you anything you've ever been arrested for that is STILL on your record. Whatever comes up there will come...

The 7-year old charge won't matter. The reason I advised you to plead not guilty is so that you could buy some time for a couple of months or so until you can talk to a public defender. The public defender will then have all of the evidence against your husband and you may actually be able to...

Relax, as long as he doesn't have any long criminal history to speak of and he isn't currently on probation then the judge will likely give him a fine and put him on probation of 6 months. He may also be given community service, depending on his age. You court date Monday is your arraignment and...

How old are you? The first time you were caught you were likely placed on pre-trial intervention and after you completed that the charges would not appear on your record. You won't go to jail for this new charge and it is not a felony. However, you have got to stop stealing stuff. I know your...

Okay, firstly, one drink is really all it takes to test 0.8 and in most states now 0.8 begins over the legal limit. It is no longer 1.0 as it used to be. The likely placed you in handcuffs and put you in the car because they were conducting an investigation and they were merely detaining you...

Of course not, that is merely a moving violation (traffic). That is not a criminal offense. What you were likely put on with PTI (pre-trial intervention). They let you enter into this type of contract so it won't remain on your record after the probationary period is up, providing you don't get...

If you're under 26, then the judge will almost certainly give you community service to teach you a lesson. If you apply at a major chain or corporation, it's now in most policies to do a background check on you. If they see that you were charged with a crime at this recent date that you are...

If you hire a lawyer for this little run in, I'll go to your house and slap some sense into you. When you get to court you'll just have to pay a fine for the littering and a fine for the damage to property (probably just to fix the guy's windshield). And he'll likely put you on 1 year or 6...

EXTRA! EXTRA! The system sucks! No matter what crime you are convicted of or if you were arrested incorrectly and the charges were dropped against you, the charges will still remain on your "arrest" record until you go through all the trouble to get them either expunged or sealed (which comes...

I'm sure the classes are offered in a large state like California. There was a user on this forum that actually had to take those classes also. $5-8000 for a lawyer for this offense, in my opinion, is proposterous. Public defenders are fine when confronted with hot and cold charges such as...

Well, you say that you were on 3 years of unsupervised probation for a grand larceny that was plead down to misdemeanor theft. This is not a big deal. Always remember that the only thing that counts is what you were actually convicted of and not what was charged or plead down. The fact is that...

Well I wouldn't worry about it too much. You were only on unsupervised probation and you only committed another misdemeanor. I don't know why the judge gave you 3 years of probation for the 1st offense though, unless you already had something on your record. Now, as far as this guy assuming...

Let me tell you something buddy. We've all been there. I have done the same thing that you are doing. The problem I had that I'm hoping that you have is that I put the girls on a pedestal and thought they were so perfect and great. As time goes on, you'll see that we all have faults and that we...

I feel for you and I really have no legal information as far as the statute of limitations on kidnapping. However, I noticed you said that this guy molested another girl and now he says he is saved. These guys never stop molesting no matter what they say. If you want a good example of these...

Sounds like someone is distributing a Holier than thou attitude. Always remember that Sir Isaac Newton's Law that states for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction doesn't just apply to physicalities. It also applies to your emotions, mentality, behaviors and treament of others...

Invisivenus, how old are you and where did you learn how to spell? You incorrectly spelled almost every word above. I'll give you a brief overview in order...1. course, 2. sue, 3. defamation, 4. character, 5. a lot, 6. too, 7. you're, 8. evidence, 9. too, 10. you're. Also, I've been reading many...
