The Wonder Bread 0 043 BrAC with Matt Olszewski, J D
- Q. case law about prosecuting a case based on a knowingly false police report?
- A: It wouldn’t be the first time and won’t be the last time that the prosecutor didn’t know everything law enforcement did or was doing. Everything law enforcement did should be disclosed to your attorney and if it wasn’t, your attorney is entitled to know why it wasn’t disclosed and potentially could get the evidence excluded through something called a Richardson hearing. But at the very least, the court should give your attorney more time to review the newly disclosed evidence.
- Q. Haven't heard from my lawyer in three weeks have called texted numerous times to get an update. What do I do
- A: I would keep trying to contact the attorney and/or his/her office. April 9th is still a ways away, so you have some time. If you still don’t hear back, try stopping by the attorneys office to make sure everything is ok. But the bottom line is, if you are worried about court, it’s always safest to just show up. Worst case scenario, your attorney is there and nothing happens, but if your attorney doesn’t show up, it’s best if you are there to explain to the judge what is going on with the lack of communication. Without knowing what jurisdiction your case is in, I would venture to say that the April 9 date is some sort of pre trial conference/status date since it’s at 1:30pm. Most judges ... Read More
- Q. If I have a misdemeanor warrant in Polk county can I fly safely domestically
- A: There shouldn’t be any issue with you flying domestically. Any international travel, however, will almost certainly result in the warrant being flagged and you being arrested. If there is a bond associated with the warrant, you can contact a local bondsman and ask them about doing a “walk thru” which would only involve you spending a few hours in jail.
