Can I provide a defense for my 23 year old retarded stepdaughter if I don't believe she was read her rights?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
You need an attorney when you are charged with a crime. The step daughter is apparently a victim. She is not charged with crime, you are. Miranda warnings do not have to be read to victims, and victims do not have a right to be silent because they are not being charged with a crime. Your question indicates that you have some big misunderstandings about the law.

Is there a way to settle a BW issue from another state, w/o having to go to the state that issued it?

Answered by attorney William R. Pelger
Criminal Law lawyer at Pelger Law
Probably not but you can call a FLA lawyer and see if he can do it without you. Of course, you will have to pay him.

What is the statute of limitations regarding a murder? For example, what happens if information comes to light regarding the implication of a suspect in an unsolved murder, does the statute of limitations still apply?

Jeralyn Elise Merritt
Answered by attorney Jeralyn Elise Merritt (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Jeralyn E. Merritt
First, by explanation, a statute of limitations refers to the time period within which a prosecution must be commenced. A prosecution after that date is not allowed, even if the defendant is factually guilty. There are three main purposes to a statute of limitations. First, it protects a person from being interminably under the threat of possible criminal prosecution and forced to defend a case after defense witnesses may have died, disappeared, or otherwise become unavailable. Second, it protects individuals from having to defend themselves against charges when the passage of time is likely to prevent them from fully investigating the facts of the crime. Third, it encourages law enforcement officials to promptly investigate suspected criminal activity.   Every state has a statute of limitations for crimes, but the laws differ from state to state. In addition, different offenses are controlled by different periods of limitation. However, no state has a statute of limitations on first degree murder. It can be prosecuted at any time. For other degrees of murder, there may be a time after which a prosecution cannot be brought. For example, in your state, Florida, second degree murder, third degree murder, and manslaughter all provide for a four year statute of limitations. This can work to the defendant\\\\\\\'s disadvantage. For example, let\\\\\\\'s say you are charged with first degree murder five years after the crime. You want to argue that you are guilty only of manslaughter. Because the statute of limitations has passed, the Judge will not provide the jury with an instruction allowing it to consider the lesser crime against you. It will be either murder one or nothing. In such instances, a defendant may seek to waive the statute of limitations on the lesser crime so that the jury may consider it. In sum, if the state develops new evidence to show a person has committed first degree murder, the charge can be brought at any time. If the new evidence suggests a lesser degree of murder or manslaughter, the charge must be brought within the state\\\\\\\'s statute of limitations for such lesser crime.
