Global Resolution?

Assuming your boyfriend is actually convicted in Clark County, after he is sentenced, he will probably be sent to Shelton for a two month stint until he is classified and sent to another prison dictated by how serious his criminal history is. Under the Interstate Compact, a person serving time in one jurisdiction with pending charges in another jurisdiction can send a letter to the the State where the other charges are pending and ask to be extradited for purposes of resolving the...

My fiancee has been charged with a rape 2 but he dated the girl and there is no evidence other than hear say what is his chances

I agree with Mr. Blair's answer. It is impossible to know the likelihood of success at trial until all the strengths and weaknesses of the State's case are known. That being said, these cases tend to be fairly defensible becasue of the common theme that they are often "she said....he said" case. Very often a reasonable doubt can be raised if the evidence is solely one witnesses word, with a motive to lie, versus a defendant's word. These are very serious charges that carry substantial...

Class c felony possesion of meth what is statuet of limitations on arresting for un paid fines

I too would agree with the previous contributors. In Clark County, the warrant will remain active until it is quashed by the court. The best advise given is to call the Clark County Superior Court Clerk's office, give them your name and case number and ask them about the status of the warrant and how much you owe. If the warrant is just for failure to pay outstanding financial obligations, you should make every effort to pay the balance, then proceed to cite the matter on and get the warrant...

I just received a traffic citation for speeding (55 in a 45 zone). 46.61.400.

When an officer signs the bottom of the ticket and/or the back of the ticket he is swearing under penalty of perjury to the tuth of the matters contained in the document. Under RCW 9A.72.085, the statements made in the document are admissible at the subsequent hearing to prove the citation. If the officer did not sign the citation and does not appear at the hearing, then the citations and/or affidavit of the officer should not be admissilbe and the matter should be dismissed for lack of evidence.

I was issued a warrant for failure to appear on a dui in 2006 in oregon is there a statute limitation.

The statute of limitations is tolled by the filing of the citation or complaint with the court. In your case, a warrant would not have been issued unless the citation or compaint was filed with the court. In short, you don't have a basis to challenge the DUI allegations based upon the expiration of the statute of limitaitons. With that being said, allegations that are that old can be very difficult for the Stateto prove at trial. Witnesses may have forgotten key facts and/or may not be...

If I was the One that called the cops can I talk to the prosecutor to drop the charges aginst my boyfriend

Unfortunately, you are not a party to this matter, you are the victim. The State is the party and is the only entity that has the power to dismiss the matter outright. With that said, as the the 'victim' the State should listen when you express your opinions about the case. An Assault is defined as a harmful or offensive contact or the reasonable apprehension of a harmful or offensive contact. The fact that you and your boyfriend share a household makes he matter a domestic violence offense....
