Would the victims not going to show up for court be a reason for the case to be dismissed?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Stephen Lewis Freeborn (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Freeborn Law Offices P.S.
Possibly, but not always. It depends upon what other evidence the prosecutor has. In addition thereto, if the prosecutor thinks that the testimony of the victims is critical, the prosecutor can request from the judge a material witness warrant, whereby the police will thin go out and pick these people up and bring them to court to testify.

Can I sue the city for below the safe limits recommended by the IET and other standardizing tests?

Paul L. Whitfield
Answered by attorney Paul L. Whitfield (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Paul Whitfield and Associates P.A.
You must be kidding. The city attorney has a staff of 20 or so who don't have much to do and it will cost them nothing out of their pockets to keep you in court for 5 years or more. it will cost you 50 to 100 thousand to keep up with them.

If I received HYTA for a felony do I have to do the expungment process for it to take effect?

Thomas J Tomko
Answered by attorney Thomas J Tomko (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Thomas J. Tomko, Attorney at Law
First, a point of clarification. HYTA is not an expungement. It results in, among other things, a sealed non-public record. When purchasing a firearm, the answer would have been better to say yes, and explain that it was a HYTA conviction. Law enforcement, Courts, and gun boards can see HYTA convictions on your record, even though it is sealed and non-pulic You have at least two options. First, after a period of time, a person convicted of a felon can ask the Court to allow purchase of a firearm following the statutory provisions. Alternatively, an expungement, can be sought, followed by a Motion for return of fingerprint cards, if not done automatically by the Court. Should you need assistance, you may consider retaining this office. You may call for an appointment by contacting me during business hours.
