How is it a Prosecutor plays a role in whether or not a bond is issued on a felony probation capias warrant?

   

Bond Reduction Criminal Lawyer

My fiancee was arrested on a possession posted a bond. A felony probation capias warrant came out a day later. His PO said he would not object to the judge lifting the warrant pending the outcome of the case. To just have our lawyer contact the judge. So Im wondering what role it is the prosecutor is playing in objecting to the lift of the capias. I understand his role in the initial charge which caused the violation which as a result the capias was issued but not understanding his role in the capias. Shouldn’t that be between Probation and Parole, the Judge and our Attorney?

Question 

I have several warrants and would like to get them clear. One is a misdemeanor for exceeding the speed limit. How can I get this taken care of?

  Criminal Defense Lawyer, R. Christopher Simons Answer

Your options for lifting the warrants are as follows:
1. Find a bondsman and pay the bond.
2. Show up at court to pay the bond and hope they don’t arrest you first.
3. Surrender to police and let them arrest you.
4. Contact the court to see if they have an “amnesty” day where defendants can get their warrants lifted.
5. Hire an attorney and let them ask the judge to recall the warrants.

Can a statement be used if person was under the influence illegal drugs

   

Can a statement be used if person was under the influence illegal drugs

A felony crime was committed the person wasn’t there but because they claimed ownership of parafanellia the law is twisting words saying that person admitted to crime.

Kansas City Drug Defense Attorney Justin Hunt’s Answer:

There are several circumstances where a suspect’s statements can be used against them: voluntary intoxication typically does not prevent your statements from being used against you.

If you are charged with a felony, then you need to find an experienced attorney to represent you. They can look at the case and see if your statements to police can be excluded or if there is another way to fight the case.

My brother-in-law attacked me in my home and pulled out a kitchen knife and threatened to kill me. He is out of the house now and moving out of state as of this coming Sunday and on his way to Wichita he will never be coming back.

What is the statute of limitations on a physical assault

Justin’s Answer
It depends on how the crime is charged: Three years for a felony, 1 year for a misdemeanor. But that time doesn’t run if the defendant is fleeing from prosecution. If you suspect that he is trying to flee the jurisdiction, you can contact the police.

What is a show cause hearing for restraining order?

   

What is a show cause hearing for restraining order?
Long story short–a family member got a restraining order on me because I didn’t show up to the hearing. Anyhow, my mother had gotten into an argument with said family member-and they argued back any forth. An unrelated matter that had nothing to do with me.

The family member told numerous people it was my mother who did it but then ran to the police and said it was “probably her” and said I violated my restraining order.

Now I have a show cause hearing. They’ve told me to find care for my children because the judge could decide that day to put me in jail. Over text messages that weren’t even me? So.. Can they throw me in jail without a lawyer or fighting it? Or what is a show cause hearing? Will they let me get a lawyer or assign one to me if I am facing jail time? What should I bring?

Justin’s Answer
The judge is ordering you to “show cause” while you should not be held in contempt for violating the order. This is a serious accusation: you need to contact an experienced domestic violence attorney to help you prepare for this hearing.

Can a court grant a PO/CPO to the petitioner if the petitioner is incarcerated?

   

Can a court grant a PO/CPO to the petitioner if the petitioner is incarcerated?
My husband filed a PO/CPO against me in retaliation for a PO that I filed against him. On the day I filed, I was granted a temporary emergency PO as well as temporary custody of our 3 yr old son. The day we appeared in court for my PO case against him, his Attorney’s request that the case be heard with our divorce case was granted; our divorce case is yet to be scheduled. I am due to appear in court on 08/03/18 for the PO/CPO he has filed against me. However, my Husband was picked up by police on July 21 for 2 counts of 1st degree assault against me which also led to a probation violation . I do not expect him to be out of jail by our court date on 08/03/18. Is it safe to assume that this will be thrown out since he is incarcerated? His bond is currently $50,000 cash, no 10% and no surety.

Justin’s Answer
Do not assume that it will be thrown out. At a minimum, show up on the court date. Preferably, find an attorney to represent you at that hearing. You having an order against him does NOT prevent him from filing one against you.

Why would my case not be on casenet.com ?
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.

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.
