That may establish an alibi. It doesn't mean you're innocent. It just means your passport was stamped sometime around the time of the alleged crime. You would still have go to trial to present that evidence to show your innocence. The passport alone does not establish innocence. It's only some evidence.

If there is no restraining order, then you were merely entering your home. Of course, your gf may make claims against you and nothing stops the prosecutor from adding charges. That's why you should...

You absolutely should call a lawyer. Cars are not supposed to catch on fire and explode. First we have to determine the cause of the fire.

My firm represents people in your situation and we are associated with trial lawyers around the country, including North Carolina. Feel...
