My boyfriend and got into a argument a domestic charge was filed he a warrant they arrested bail was set at no bail ?: Now we have filed for a second bail review today with his attorney / lawyer because once the files was charged in July 3rd I then wrote a letter to the district court for charges to dropped even went and had to fill out paperwork for a dismissal of charges to be dropped because we are still together and I am not at any harms at all and we are trying to get him home to his children immediately so what are the chances he may be able to come home since we filed the efile today with the court which is September 22,2020 he’s not a flight risk and doesn’t have any other charges or open cases , we are hoping with my evidence that I don’t want to pursue those charges and that I did send the courts paperwork to drop all charges and I did come to his first bail review that friday morning as well to speak infront of the judge that day
Allan’s answer:
I agree with Mr Scherr. The appropriate person to ask these questions is the lawyer who filed the 2nd bail review. That lawyer knows the important particulars that will affect the outcome either granting or denying the bail.
Specifically, what jurisdiction this case occurred in ; district or Circuit ; who the assigned Judge will be ; did you call 911? If so your recorded statement can be considered by the judge.
If this was in a jurisdiction that used body cams, everything recorded, including your statement and demeanor, will be considered.
Any visible injuries no matter how minor and photographs of those injuries? Was an ambulance called?
How long after the alleged incident was he arrested?
In addition there are a number of questions relating to his ties to the community. Employment, kids, extended family etc.
I agree with my colleagues that you are a compellable states witness and can be forced to testify. Your desire to dismiss the charges are a side note at best. The State and the judges (along with experienced lawyers) see this scenario on a daily basis. A domestic violence assault complaint is filed in the heat of the moment (considered more likely to be the truthful version). Once police arrive and handcuffs come out or charges are filed, the alleged 'victim' begins to see the consequences of involving police and try to backpeddle the statement and details of the complaint. In addition to this routine scenario States Attorneys and judges often believe it's their duty to protect the victims who might try to assume responsibility for the incident themselves.
This is a common red flag for battered partners and treated as such in the courts. You should discuss all of these common issues with your lawyer.
What do I do?: Monday morning at about 2:30am i fell asleep at the wheel after giving my friend a ride when he woke me up with a phone call asking me for the ride. I ended up crashing into an off duty police officer's personal vehicle. I ended up being charged with 4 different types of driving while impaired ("must appears") and 3 traffic violations. I was arrested that night. I had taken my sleeping medication and my xanax at around 9 or 10pm and that had to have been the cause for my accident and why I failed FSB.I blew .000 on the breathalizer but failed the field sobriety test. I don't remember what happened at the police station, but I have a sheet of paper tha says I refused to take a breathalizer/blood test. But, I took the breathalizer on the scene of theaccident. So I don't know why I have a sheet of paper that says I refused to take one. My license has been suspended I believe, but I need to be able to drive for work. I don't know how to go about getting a temporary license (or whatever I can get right now). All the paperwork and/or instructions I have are so confusing I don't even know where to start. I don't even know how to find out when my court date (s) is/are. Please help me.
Allan’s answer: FIrst ,please don't post details of your case online in a public forum. As several of my colleagues indicate you can be convicted of DUI/DWI for driving under the influence of prescribed medication. This is an entire practice area of it's own. You have several criminal traffic matters you are facing and you definitely need to speak to a lawyer who handles drugged driving cases. Most offer free consultations and you should do this sooner versus later.
What should i do: I got pulled over and charged with driving with revoke license.I'm from nashville and i was cited in hagerstown md
Allan’s answer: As Mr Scherr said, this is a jailable offense and considered 'criminal traffic' in Maryland. Most traffic lawyers offer a free phone consultation for people who are charged in Maryland but live or work out of state. Contact an experienced Maryland traffic lawyer and try to resolve your license before your Maryland court date.
