An incident happened outside of the police department and a bank where someone accuse me of a crime I know there should be video surveillance from the police department that picked up the whole incident can I ask the police to preserve it or do I have to go through an attorney or is all police surveillance public domain
Hire an attorney and get them to file a motion to preserve the evidence. This is a serious crime that could effect your life forever. Treat it that way.
I have 2 previous convictions and completed drug court 2 years ago… Not currently on probation or parole
Yes it can happen, I have done that for a few clients in the same spot. But it will depend on the judge and facts of the case.

I cannot answer the question with certainty with the information you’ve given, but if you feel he has taken your son, you need to call the police.
My ex boyfriend is on felony probation for child support his court date keeps getting postponed this will be the 3rd time he is supposed to be in court because probation is being revoked why do they not issue a warrant for his arrest.same ex boyfriend ran off with my 17 year old daughter and grandbabies which I found out that my ex boyfriend is the father of both girls what can I do to get this to move on this warrant so DNA test can be done because my daughter was 15 the first time she got pregnant and 16 the second time I’ve stated that I want to press charges against him for that
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?
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.
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.
WWhat is the statute of limitations on a physical assault by a family member in the same household
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?
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?
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.

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?
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.
