- Q. I need a battery charge to be dismissed.
- A: Sounds like there are lots of witnesses, self-defense issues, defense of others issues. You have the right to a jury trial. In some cases, a jury acquittal is the only route to a dismissal. In some cases, jury trial doesn't make good sense for the defendant. You need professional advice. Find a good criminal defense trial lawyer. Good luck!
- Q. My daughter was arrested 31 days ago for a probation violation. How much longer will she be in jail?
- A: Technical violations are smaller things, like missing a meeting with the PO.
Leaving the county then coming back same day without permission is a technical violation in my opinion. Leaving the county then going to another country and not coming back for years would not be a technical violation.
The amount of time left to serve before release will depend on a lot of things - underlying charge, criminal history, other violations, mitigation.
Best wishes.
