My wife feigned assault when she came into our home with family to take stuff…should I be worried?

Wife showed up with family, moving van, and proceeded to come into our home, whisking past me when I went outside to find out the matter…family began taking things and I couldn’t stop them. Wife feigned that I pushed her down when nobody was around and started screaming. Another step daughter was taking items out of the house, and I tried to stop her, but she resisted my attempts…Police arrested me, and they both pressed assault charges against me, for putting my arms around my step daughter and ask her not to be taking things out of the house. Police report from officer says he will write that she forced the confrontation by having her and her family invade the house. Nothing was peaceful about her invasion…should I be worried?

Absolutely be worried. You are probably going to be charged with domestic assault. A conviction for this could revoke your 2nd Amendment rights and put you in jail. You should talk to an attorney immediately.

What if I am not driving the car and I am just the passenger do I have to show my ID to the police?

   

What if I am not driving the car and I am just the passenger do I have to show my ID to the police?

My friend got pulled over for speeding I was in the passenger seat had my seatbelt on everything and they asked me for my name and ID did I have to give it to them

Justin’s Answer

Again, they have to have a reason to ask; if they don’t, you can turn them down. However, you have no way of knowing if their request is legitimate or not. Playing games like asking, “is this a request or an order” is a good way to make the stop go as badly as possible for you and the other people in the car. I generally tell people to just show their ID unless they have a really good reason not to.

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

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.
