Legal Answers
Q. My boyfriend has been arrested for first degree robbery on feb 16 and hasn’t yet been arraigned in this matter.is there
A: If the only evidence against your boyfriend is an identification of your boyfriend's "walk," then I don't see the case holding up in court. If he was arrested with a warrant, however, then a judge has already made a finding that there is probable cause to charge him; and there is likely more evidence about which you may not be aware. In that case, he would probably have to push the case to trial in order to be vindicated. If he was arrested without a warrant, then his lawyer could file a Motion to Dismiss, which could potentially get the case thrown out significantly prior to trial.
Q. What defense can b used for a possible illegal search?
A: It might be a violation of privacy, but it is no basis to exclude the evidence in a criminal case that may result from the vendor reporting such images to law enforcement. You can only suppress evidence that is obtained through an illegal search BY A STATE ACTOR. The Constitution essentially doesn't apply to actions by private individuals; only those from the agents of the state / government. The only way you would be able to suppress evidence in this case is if the vendor was searching at the behest of law enforcement or other government official.
Q. Hi I live in Connecticut I was denied my pistol permit today due to a misdeameanor drug charge
A: Rather than appeal, you may want to hire a lawyer to try to reopen that old ticket and withdraw guilty / nolo plea. Once it's gone, you can reapply. The problem happened because, when possession of weed was a Misdemeanor, it was a disqualifier for a permit. When they decriminalized marijuana possession, the new infraction was under the same statute number; and that statute number is still a disqualifier for the permit. I'd recommend Attorney Christian Young, of Cohen & Wolf in Bridgeport.
