Is there a chance of enforcement of a plea agreement

David B Harrison
Answered by attorney David B Harrison (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Miller & Harrison, LLC
There is a time limit for filing to challenge a plea or a sentence, and that time period has no doubt long since passed.  It might be possible to pursue a remedy in some other way, and you would want to talk to a lawyer with expertise in post-conviction matters.

Answered by attorney Jeralyn Elise Merritt (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Jeralyn E. Merritt
The laws against spiking a person’s drink will  vary from state to state. In Colorado, where you are from, the two most likely offenses are Consumption by Fraudulent Means and Second Degree Assault.The  law prohibiting  consumption by fraudulent means essentially states that it is unlawful to cause an individual to unknowingly consume a controlled substance surreptitiously or by means of  fraud, misrepresentation, deception, or subterfuge.The crime of Second degree Assault may be charged if a person intentionally, and for a purpose other than lawful medical or therapeutic treatment,  causes stupor, unconsciousness, or other physical or mental impairment or injury to another individual by administering a drug or  substance without his or her consent.Both offenses are class 4 felonies. One could also be charged with conspiracy or attempt to commit either offense, which would be a class a 5 felony.A class 4 felony in Colorado carries a presumptive sentence of between 2 and 6 years in prison, and a fine.If the drug used to spike the drink is one commonly known as a “date rape drug,” such as GHB, Ketamine or Rohypnol, and sexual contact  occurred after the person consumed the drink with the added drug, sexual assault or attempted sexual assault charges may be filed.

Was it legal for an officer to pull me over for saying he know it was me driving?

Answered by attorney Andrea Rogers (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Rogers Law Firm
If the police officer recognized you as the driver and knew your license was suspended, then it's perfectly legal for him to pull you over without any traffic violation as a pretext for the traffic stop. He doesn't have to read you your Miranda rights unless he wants to question you while in police custody and use your testimony against you in court.
