Legal Answers
- Q. Can a person under 13 yrs of age be charged with a crime in MS? Specifically a felony.
- A: It really depends. Typically, a minor can be charged with a felony, but where they end up depends on what the underlying crime is. If it is non-violent, the minor will typically go to youth court; however, if it is a violent crime, it will typically go to circuit court. Regardless, assuming that there is a defense attorney involved, the lawyer should do everything they can to either keep it in youth court or get it sent back to youth court.
- Q. My boyfriend was arrested in November of 2020 and remains incarcerated at the pike county jail. He has not been indicted
- A: It really depends on a few things, such as whether your boyfriend was already out on bond when he got arrested, what was the nature of the underlying charge, etc. Regardless, unless it is a capital offense or he was already out on bond, he should be entitled to pretrial release. That being said, if enough time goes by, he may also have a viable motion for dismissal based on a lack of speedy trial
- Q. Is it ok for my neighbor to leave his dogs loose all day everyday even when he Is away from the house because his dog
- A: Likely not. If he is allowing the dog to get out and the dog bites someone, especially after having already shown a propensity for viciousness, then he could be found liable for any harm that the dog causes. It sounds like it might be worth it for you to talk to a lawyer about, especially if the dog has bitten someone you know.
