Legal Answers
- Q. If a defendant doesn't accept a plea deal to felony charges, can he change his mind and accept before the trial date?
- A: It depends on the terms of the agreement. They often have an expiration date. Also, in my jurisdiction, if one turns down a plea offer, they likely won't get another and if they do, it's usually a lot worse for them. Unfortunately one does not have a constitutional right to a plea offer.
- Q. What happens if ur not Mirandized and warrant and parole officer were called/issued hours after being booked?
- A: If a person isn't properly Mirandized, an attorney can argue to have any statements made during the questioning suppressed. That's not the same as a dismissal. If a person is on parole, they have a much less diminished expectation of privacy when it comes to searches. Finally, warrants are often obtained after people are detained. That's not uncommon. He needs to speak with his attorney about the specifics.
- Q. Where does a open container have to be placed in a vehicle to constitute probable cause for search of that vehicle?
- A: The short answer is "in plain view." If it's in the trunk or under the seat, the officer isn't going to find it at a glance, to get probable cause.
