I am facing a 1st degree assault charge and looked up my case last week and it was there but when i looked today it was no longer there.

Justin’s Answer
My guess is that an indictment went through and the case number has changed. However, there are many possibilities. If you are charged with 1st Degree assault, you need to contact an attorney to help you. This is a very serious offense.

I want to pressing charges against a person vandalism my car. That person sitting in jail right now. I want charges against him and damaged paid to my car . what steps I need step to pursue this.

Justin’s Answer
You simply call the police to report a crime. The prosecutor will usually try to get the cost of repairing your property as part of any sentence. You can also file a civil claim for the damage to your car.

What should I do?

   

What should I do?
Back in Oct I met a guy that was 22 at the time I was 16. He knew my age and I knew his. We hung out a few times and then once I went to his house. One thing led to another and we ended up having sex. I didn’t want to. I told him no over and over but eventually stopped because I knew it was going to happen either way. So once I stopped saying no we had sex. I didn’t do anything but lay there and I had never had sex before and I got pregnant. In order to keep him out of trouble we told everyone that I lied and told him I was 17. I always felt like I hadn’t done enough to prevent having sex from happening because all I kept saying was no I didn’t want to and when I stopped is then when he started. So I feel like it’s my fault and he told me we would get through this together so I feel like it’s too late to tell my parents the truth and I don’t know what to do. I kinda don’t even feel like I was rapped because I wasn’t held down and forced to I just didn’t want to and told him no over and over. It wasn’t like the normal rape stories you hear about… I don’t know what to do

Justin’s Answer
What you are describing IS rape in Missouri. It is absolutely NOT your fault. It is not too late to tell your parents the truth and go to the police. I am sorry you had to experience this. Good luck to you.

Does their status of still actually being property of d.o.c. change the laws of statute of limitations or the right to a speedy and fair trial?
While I was on probation I slipped up and sod drugs to an undercover. That was July of 2016 . I wasn’t charged or even alerted to pending charges at that time. In fact I got a successful release from D.O.C in October 2016. The has been my clean date also because I figured if they had something on me they would have to charge me before release. Jan 2018 I was charged. I’m currently in preceding now. One page of discovery was given and an offer of 10 years. No other charge but the one , and like I said I was sure it was all in the past and my entire life is completely different from 2016.
How can the department of corruption I mean corrections have me as their property and not charge me before I was released? That doesn’t make sense to me. They shouldn’t have been able to successfully release me while I had committed an offense a felony. They are charging me as P.&P because of the aforementioned charges and charges I had gotten 20years before that. So the offer of 10 is great. Except reals

Justin’s Answer
The prosecutor has 3 years to bring charges for a felony; why they waited is irrelevant. You need to speak with a criminal defense attorney NOW. Posting insults and facts about your case online is not going to help you.

IF somebody filed a police report how much time do they have to file charges ?

   

charges police report file charges against

Question

Somebody filed a police report for being punched in the nose from a family member.  How much time do they have to file charges? Does it go away after 48 hours?

Criminal Defense Lawyer, R. Christopher Simons Answer
The state has 3 years for felonies, 1 year for misdemeanors, and 6 months for infractions to file their case. Domestic Assault is a serious charge as even a municipal conviction can restrict your 2nd amendment rights. Don’t talk about the case with anyone but an attorney.

When i have a ex parte against someone and they haven’t been served yet, can i tell them to stop contacting me?
My son’s father is abusive, i got a order of protection signed by the judge saying he shouldn’t contact me at all. He still is , and i know he hasn’t been served yet but it’s becoming annoying. What can i do? Can i tell him to leave me alone because of the ex parte? That might piss him off though, but i really want him to stop texting me.

Justin’s Answer
Ms. Merta’s analysis is excellent. I will add that, if you are feeling harassed, you are free to call the police and report the harassment. Non-emergency number unless you feel you are in danger.

Is there anything we can do to stop the harassment?

   

Is there anything we can do to stop the harassment?
I am currently living in a condo with my very close friend. She is currently on disability for medical and has a 10 year old son. She has been renting the condo for 5 years , and president of the condos has always started problems with her. Now that I am here things are worse. She has stopped neighbors and told them nasty things about my friend in the hopes to get her to move out. DFS has been called anonymously 5 + times, and no problems have been found. She has said things like”my friend is a drug addict” ,”don’t talk to her because she is bad news” , “Blank and her neighbor are making the condos white trash and it’s bringing down the value of the condos” ,” this isn’t a place for kids, they should be living in section 8”, Now,there is a new president and she has began to do the same thing. She has said things about both of us to many many ppl and now it has the whole neighborhood watching us. Also, I am threatened with the police if I have any guests and if I even walk outside to talk to anyone then she tells ppl I’m dealing drugs. I have many friends, and she has made it to where I fear the cops will be called if I even have guests at my house.

Justin’s Answer

You can apply for a protective order. Just go to the court of the city or county where you live and ask the clerk for a protective order. The are some forms to fill out, but the procedure is relatively straight forward. It sounds like this might fit the criteria for stalking, but without know more about your situation, I cannot tell you how likely a judge is to grant the restraining order.

You can also call the police to report the harassment. I’d suggest the non-emergency number.

If this doesn’t work, you have several legal options that an attorney can help with: I find that a strongly worded cease and desist letter is generally enough to make most aggressors back down. You might also consider a civil suit for slander.

Please remember that this is generalized information. You should probably speak with an attorney to get specific advise on your case.

I got driving under suspended driver licence ×2. Dangerious drugs by2, driving while under the influence,I also want to know can they charge a prescription drugs the same way as meth,

Justin’s Answer
It depends on what you have gone to court for and how the case is progressing. If you have just been requesting continuances to delay court, I would say your judge is already being patient and is likely to insist on moving forward shortly.

Missouri broadly classifies drug cases: possession of anything other small amounts of marijuana can be filed as a D felony. So, yes, they can charge prescription drugs the same as meth. However, if it was your prescription, you might have a defense to the possession case.

I was just getting off work late the other night and came to my girlfriend apartment were I live and the door was rekeyed and locked my belongings is in the apartments
What do I do

Justin’s Answer
This is a specific situation that would be difficult to answer in a single comment. There are a few scenarios where your girlfriend might be justified, but generally she would have to give you notice before evicting you in such a matter. Unfortunately, the solution is not a fast process. You should contact an attorney in your area for help. If you cannot afford one, Legal Aid of Western Missouri has information for people in your situation. http://lawmo.org/pro-se-tenant-defense-documents/

I received a DUI in MO, I am on supervision from a DUI a year ago, will this affect my previous case?

   

I received a DUI in MO, I am on supervision from a DUI a year ago, will this affect my previous case?
I am on super vision from a previous DUI in the state of MO. Will receiving a BUI affect my supervision?

Justin’s Answer
It probably will, however that will depend on the terms of your probation. Most probations generally have terms such as “obey all laws” or “have no repeat or similar convictions.” Either of which could be used to violate and revoke your probation. This matter is quite serious. A DWI attorney local to your area will be able to tell you more.

We had sexual intercorse and was wondering if he get in trouble

Justin’s Answer
Statutory Rape in Missouri requires the perpetrator to be over 21 AND the victim under 17. Your boyfriend is technically safe from being charged with statutory rape. However, if the relationship started when you were younger, he may be in danger. I would not advise getting pregnant at 16, however.

Can a 14 yr old refuse a dna test for her unborn if accusation have been made that a 31 yr old got her pregnant

   

Can a 14 yr old refuse a dna test for her unborn if accusation have been made that a 31 yr old got her pregnant
My daughter is 14 n is pregnant but she is scared that the guy will b charged n he is already going to prison for life for other charges that have been filed against him

Justin’s Answer
She can refuse, however a court order (warrant) can override that refusal. If she wants to avoid the test, you may look into contacting an attorney. However, if the father has any money (or is set to inherit money) a paternity test can help ensure that the child is taken care of.

If ur child is 21 ..and doesn’t go to collage but u owe back child support what happens then?

   

If ur child is 21 ..and doesn’t go to collage but u owe back child support what happens then?
My daughter ir 21 and i owe back child support what happens now?..jailtime or what happens next?

Justin’s Answer
You have to pay child support until the back support is paid. If you still owe back support, the payments do not stop when the child becomes an adult. If you fail to pay the back child support, your license can be suspended, your wages garnished, and yes, you can be charged with a crime. You can generally just call and set up a payment plan. If you wish to challenge the amount owed, you will have to talk to an attorney in your area.

I had cashed my check took 20 out of wallet went to gas station bought things did not know it was fake

Justin’s Answer
No one can tell you this without knowing more about the case and your own history. Probation is common for my previous cases, but they could be entirely different from your situation. You should contact a defense attorney in your area to give you a better answer.

My probation has been over for over 16 yrs. And just got a letter saying I owe 1,400$ for court cost but 12 12 in county jail

   

My probationhas been over for over 16 yrs. And just got a letter saying I owe 1,400$ for court cost but 12 12 in county jail
I 12 12 in county jail 16 yrs. Ago and just got a letter saying I owe court cost from 16 yrs. Ago I was released from probation and all then how do I still owe court fees when being released from my probation

Justin’s Answer
You question is not very clear, but, so far as I know, there is no statute of limitations on court costs. You should contact a local attorney to help you with this; just be advised: hiring an attorney may be more expensive than just paying the $1400.

Getting video from a bank that would help prove my case ?

   

Getting video from a bank that would help prove my case ?
i need to get video suevillance from a major bank . i understand its like pulling teeth . will my lawyer be able to pull it off . my understanding is that they answer to know one put the police are a judge . this survillance is very important to my defence . on a side note i told the officer that the alleged crime happened in plan view of all these cameras . im i to believe that theyll go through the trouble of even looking at the video to prove my case .Are will they simple take the witnesses word for it . And file it to the DA office

Justin’s Answer
If you have an attorney, you should ask them this question. Getting evidence, even from a bank, just takes a subpoena, which your attorney should know how to get.

As for your case, if the officer is thorough, they should have already gotten a copy of the footage and examined it before forwarding to the prosecutor. On less serious cases, however, I have known officers to ignore possible video evidence and just take the witnesses’ word for it. Your attorney should know how to deal with this.

2 charges for same situation; a misd. Probation violation for the charge and the charge itself.
I missed court date on accident for my probation hearing and now have capias warrant and cannot afford to sit in jail. New job and single mother. I believe the charge can get dropped or reduced.

Justin’s Answer
You will have to contact an attorney in your area to see if they will take that price. I will tell you that takes an experienced attorney to get a DWI dismissed, and $300 probably will not cover that. Your probation violation is another problem as it is much easier to prove that up. Good luck.
