- Q. How weird is my crim trial starting with me left sitting outside and having to argue my way into the courtroom on day 2?
- A: I do not believe you can get a new judge under the facts you presented. However, you of course would get a continuance to prepare for trial. Your public defender should not have been handling any matter in curt without you being present.
- Q. Does an officer have an authority to remove a resident from their residence without a warranty or emergency circumstance
- A: Once you have invited the officer into the house then they are allowed to be there. If there are drugs or other unlawful items in plain sight the officer may seize them. However, without a warrant a police officer would not be allowed to search rooms or drawers in that residence.
- Q. can I go to jail or get any charges for taking a package that is mine but not released to me?
- A: If the package belonged to you and there was no outstanding money due, ten you will not get a criminal case for "taking" a package that you owned.
