- Q. Person A got into an argument with Person B. Person B pointed a gun at person A.
- A: The answer to this question requires A LOT more information. Some of the questions I would need answered are the following: Does person A live with person B or did the person A trespass into person B's home to get the gun and clips? What is the nature of the relationship between person A and B - romantic, family, friends? What was the argument about and did it ever get physical? What is the prior history between person A and B as far as physical violence? Do either person A or person B have a criminal history - and specifically a criminal record? There are A LOT of ways in which person A could get into trouble if the authorities learned of this. However, if or how much trouble depends on the circumstances. Person A should hire a lawyer for the purpose of just a quick consultation, which is confidential and privileged, to get ahead of the story.
- Q. Can a person be charged with “eluding” if the officer never turned on his sirens, lights, or used any other method?
- A: I agree with Mr. Smith's answer below. However, one thing I would add is that the case law on Eluding does not make Mr. Smith's answer the end of the conversation. In certain prior cases, the appellate courts conclude that it could be inferred someone knew or should have known they were being pursue by law enforcement, through minimal visual cues, if they accelerated, weaved out of traffic or physically acted in some manner that is consistent with someone who is aware of the police pursuing them to some degree. This means you will need to assess the specific facts of your case to truly know what your best defenses are. That said, if the evidence unequivocally states that there were no lights or sirens, you have a VERY strong and defensible case that should likely be pushed to trial.
- Q. I would like to know how it is possible to be charged with felony assault from a compulsive liars "word" no Witness
- A: Unfortunately, this happens a lot. Especially if the accuser is in an intimate relationship with the accused person and the allegations involve domestic violence. A case like this, with a significant lack of evidence, is very defensible. Consult with an attorney ASAP to assess your best options.
