Do pending court charges show up on criminal background checks.
The Connecticut Judicial Branch has a website available to the public that enables a user to search for a person's criminal history. The user can search for both convictions and pending charges. If you go to the site and follow the link through case look-up you will be able to enter your name into the search engine to determine whether you are in the system.

I got caught shoplifting; what will happen?
You will need to speak to a State’s Attorney when you get to court. If you are in Middletown, their office is the first door on the left after you clear security. The State’s Attorney will pull your file and discuss your case with you. He or she has discretion on how to handle your matter. Because you do not have a criminal history he may be willing to offer you either a dismissal or a nolle in return for community service. A nolle will result in a dismissal in thirteen months provided you...

How much Jail time will i be facing for a first offense thrid degree larceny charge in CT? my record is clean. how does AR work?
Larceny 3 is a Class D Felony, so you are not restricted from applying for AR. You must not have used the program before and you must not have been adjudicated a youthful offender within the last five years. The more you can do to demonstrate that your behavior was not in conformity with your character will increase the likelihood of the court granting you the program. I wish you all the best. I spent five years in the Marine Corps before attending college and it was the best decision I...

I am 24 years old my husband is being charged with one count of assualt 2 but i am trying to figure out about how much time he
It is difficult to answer that question without knowing the disposition of the prior charges. In Connecticut, assault of a police officer is a Class C Felony which carries a minimum sentence of one year and a maximum sentence of ten years, part of which could be suspended in exchange for probation. If he is still on probation for the prior charges it will depend on the sentence the judge imposed and the nature of the new charges. I wish I could be more specific.
