What can be done?

My husband got a summons to appear on a charge of stealing at a Target store in Kansas City, Mo. He and his son have the same name. My husband has proof that he was working in Omaha, Ne. Does Target have to show some sort of proof in court ie…pictures, video?
Thanks for your time.

Justin’s Answer

First, he must answer the summons. If not, a warrant will be issued for his arrest.
Second, when he does appear, he should not try to tell his story to the judge; the first appearance is not the time for a trial.
Third, Target doesn’t present the evidence. The prosecutor does and, if the case goes to trial, they have to convince the judge/jury of your husband’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Finally, if he does have video evidence, then he has a strong case to fight. A lawyer would be able to evaluate the evidence and make the most of it. You should find a lawyer quickly, as the officers sometimes “forget” to request security footage from the stores until it’s too late. Then it will be up to the words of the witnesses.

How long does it take for them to issue charges on you that you wasn’t booked for but was booked for the charges that they was looking for you for the charge they were looking for you for was dropped

Justin’s Answer

The state has up to 3 years to file a charge for felon in possession. I have seen prosecutors file cases quickly and I have seen them sit on cases for months. Heneeds to speak to an attorney about this as quickly as possible.

What will mostly likely be his sentence if convicted and how much will bail be ? Also is there a chance of him getting probation

My boyfriend got taken to jail yesterday an this morning he said they are trying to charge him with 1 count of robbery. He has a court hearing tuesday to see if he will be released, get bail, or kept in jail . He has no criminal background an record is completely clean, he is 25 years old an there were 3 other plp involved , I think he was just the driver but im not sure

Justin’s Answer

There are too many variable to inform you of this: I have seen robbery cases get dismissed, reduced to a misdemeanor, sentenced to probation, and sentenced to prison. No case is typical; an attorney would have to know more about your boyfriend’s case. I will say that, if it was a first offense and there were no injuries, he is much more likely to get probation. If he has priors or someone was injured he is more likely looking at time.

Justin’s Answer

Yes, it is hard to get a case thrown out. You need to find a “civil forfeiture” attorney as well as a criminal defense attorney. Unfortunately, it is quite common for police to seize money or property without actual evidence of a crime. Even if you win the criminal case, they will still try to keep your money. You will need an experienced attorney for this.

Why would a case disappear off of case net?

  

Why would a case disappear off of case net?

My son was charged with felony assault and armed criminal action. He has been going to court over these, Monday was court they told him not to appear, when I checked case net the cases are gone. I have looked everyday and they are still not there why would they disappear and can the state pick up these charges. I know the person that filed the assault charges hasn’t shown up for court.

Justin’s Answer

It’s possible that the prosecutor has dismissed the cases. Or, if this was a felony, they may have secured an indictment and the case now has a new number. You should contact an attorney to search for the case for you, or you can ask the court for the status. Just keep in mind, if the prosecutor dismissed the case, they can generally refile the case if they choose. Tell your son not to talk about the case with anyone but his attorney.

How can TSA deny hazmat on just an arrest with no conviction?

  

How can TSA deny hazmat on just an arrest with no conviction?

Husband in 2003 got arrested he was 18 for first degree tampering of utility. Let go with no charges and not even a bond. applied for hazmat in 2012 and got it. let it go because he was not using it in his line of work. got a new job that required hazmat, took test passed and went and did fingerprint nd background check and it came back that charge from the TSA. Called prosecuting attorney office and they said that it says non conviction on it. TSA says we need something stating that, prosecuting office says its on the criminal history report they pulled. we are getting the run around and not sure what to do.

Justin’s Answer

This is going to be too complicated to answer in a post. You two need to speak with a federally licensed attorney.

DUI/ hit and run..now what

  

DUI/ hit and run..now what

My husband left a resident where they had been loading hay, and drinking some beer…on his way home a deer ran in front of his car he tried to swirl to miss it and hit the signs on the corner..it was drivable but it’s a car he takes to work every day so he called the same buddy to put in on the trailer so no hauling cost, someone called in the accident the hwy patrol showed up, while he was loading the car on the trailer, made him blow..1.1 arrested him and he was served two tickets DUI and hit and run

Justin’s Answer

First, stop posting facts of the case online. Second, your husband will probably need to hire a DWI attorney. At this point, the government has already started two different actions against your husband: a criminal action for the DWI/ hit and run, and a license revocation for testing over .08. These are 2 separate issues that you will need to fight.

My first thought is I would try to fight the case by pointing out that the officers didn’t actually see him driving and that it would be difficult to determine his blood-alcohol when he was actually behind the wheel. However, this is just speculation. You will need to hire a DWI attorney to investigate further.
