Q. How to press charges for assault & battery when police are unresponsive?

June 5, 2025

A: It is very difficult to sue a municipality. You would need to file for permission to sue them, early enough that the actual suit can still be filed within the statute of limitations. I would recommend finding a lawyer who specialized in that kind of law.

Q. Can the state take the property if my mother is in a nursing home?

June 3, 2025

A: If the house is in your mother’s name (or has been in the last five years), the state can take it to pay for her medical expenses.

Q. Does double jeopardy apply in a case of a second identical robbery after serving time for the first?

June 3, 2025

A: No. Sorry, but it’s a second crime. A trial for that would be the first trial for that crime. Double Jeopardy would not apply.
