Can my brother appeal something that happen during trial that was never recorded or objected by his lawyer?

Make sure your brother's appellate lawyer knows about it. Also, other jurors should be interviewed for possible juror misconduct. If his lawyer did not object or ask for mistrial then there may be ineffective assistance of counsel argument as well.

Did I take the best course of action? Or should I give a statement. I'm really worried again.

You've done the right thing. The only reason the detective wanted to talk to you is to get more evidence to seal the deal. If he had the evidence to charge you he would have done it by now.

Is it legally to deny departure from the USA to me?

He is probably afraid you will take the child and leave permanently. In which case marriage counseling rather than legal advice is more apporpriate. As for his inability to travel, he either doesn't have a valid status or has a prior conviction which makes him inadmissible.

What happens to each of us?

In these types of cases I usually attempt to work out a civil compromise.

My partner is illegal. Will entering a dom. partnership put him risk for deportation? Ways to get him safe as citizen ?
