If you are going in to ask for a anti-harrassment order, evidence of his temperament and disposition is appropriate if you make it clear you are doing it for this purpose. A pattern or course of criminal convictions reflecting this is clear evidence that his behavior is not accidental or mistaken, but rather part of a deliberate and and larger problem of his temper and behavior. That being said, a drug conviction is not the sort of charge that reflects this sort of temperament and...

Would i be able to find out where he is in prison and if he is released early?

Deletion of arrest and non- convicted crime, do i need to physically be there or do i just mail it in?

In three years, pursuant to a statute, you can write a letter to Seattle Police Department asking them to remove the non-conviction/arrest data. You will need to wait three years as that is what the law requires. Sent the letter certified, return receipt requested and if the police fail to take action, it would take very little effort for a lawyer to remind them to follow the law (I have found writing one follow up letter does it), especially if you have proof you sent and they received...

Should i take a polygraph test?

A polygraph administered by the police is just another word for interrogation: they ask you a series of questions that, oddly enough, will have you giving your whole story without the benefit of knowing what they believe, what facts they have, and, you will not have the assistance of counsel to explain the situation and rules of law that are applicable. Your answers and discussions with the police could be used against you in court however the polygraph results (even if favorable) will not be...

Deferred sentencing on Domestic Violence Charge--am I guilty???

In order to qualify for a deferred sentence, it is necessary that you admit guilt, but, the "sentence" is deferred for some period of time. Typically between the time of admitting guilt and sentence, you stay out of trouble, complete some conditions and at the subsequent sentencing, the judge withdraws your guilty plea by legal fiction and enters a sentence of not guilty or dismissed. This is what a deferred sentence is. This legal procedure avoids you being sentenced, but does not avoid...
