Legal Answers
- Q. My boyfriend sits in Cumberland County jail been there since last Thursday he can’t bail out has no bail. Why?!!
- A: There are a few reasons, he could be held with no bail: (1) If he is serving a sentencing there would be no bail, or (2) If he was previously on bail before the new charge, the State could have filed a motion to revoke bail and the Court can be holding him with no bail pending a motion to revoke or (3) the court revoked his bail and is holding him with no bail. You should contact the Clerk's Office and ask what he is being held on and his current bail.
- Q. Falsely accused of assault, lost in Supreme Court of Maine without a lawyer; seeking next steps.
- A: If your case was already appealed to the Maine Supreme Court then the only other avenue for an appeal is to the United States Supreme Court. In order to have the U.S. Supreme Court hear an appeal an application must be filed with the Court within 90 days of the date the Maine Supreme Court denied the appeal. The U.S. Supreme Court only grants the applications to appeal in a small percentage of cases. You should consul with an appellate lawyer about filing such an appeal, and find more information on how an appeal is filed on the Court's website. https://www.supremecourt.gov
- Q. Is reading saved messages violating no-contact order in Maine?
