What is "beyond a reasonable doubt"?
Legal Answers
740 Questions Answered
- Q. Is it possible to get charged dropped against my husband for aggravated assault? The cops pressed them .I was drunk when
- A: It's possible, but it is going to depend on a few things, like whether your husband has already had a preliminary hearing. Your best bet is going to be to talk with an experienced criminal defense attorney who can discuss the facts of the case and get a better idea of the case's current status.
- Q. It’s been over one year since I was indicted on my charge for cocaine and meth. Can they still invite me? If so, why?
- A: Likely they can, because they have already indicted you or charged you, with tolls the statute of limitations in criminal cases. Your best bet is going to be to get with an experienced criminal defense attorney so that they can go over the facts of your case.
- Q. What is the length of jail time for stealing a dirtbike in Mississippi
- A: This is a little bit of a tricky question. In Mississippi, the length of jail time really depends on the value of the dirt bike. Depending on the circumstances, it could also be worked out to where a person may not have to serve any sort of jail time, and instead the person can participate in a special program to avoid jail and possibly ensure that this does not go on their record. Your best bet is going to be to get with an experienced criminal defense lawyer to discuss the case and determine the best course of action. Most law firms, including my own, offer free consultations to see what can be done to help you out.
