only one thing to say /BEST TO THE NITTY GRITTY FACT OF DEFENCE. EXPLAINIG like that is a gift of knowledge when a person is faced with any criminal offence /guilty or INNOCENT.. THANKYOU FOR YOUR SHARING OF YOUR EXPERTISE IN YOUR TRADE AND THANKYOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE TO MAKE IT IN SO LAYMAN TERMS .. even the smart people need a little help now and then ,LOL. iD ADD AND say if anyone out there has a lawyer ask for non jargon legal talk and to please come down to real words that explain away a lot of worry when you could be face with loss of liberty and do jail only for want of prosecution.. thats what i call the lawer getting dismissed on record for your case .yes the one hired even,, WITH YOUR HARD EARNED BREAD AND GAS MONEY. and the court and state or DA getting a conviction upon the fact that everyone out there may not be guilty even though charged . and the guilty may not be as .. justice stands for all and should protect the innocent as well as the guilty and thats not always the case though,,rubber stamping persons thru the court..while State gets conviction even being pretrial diversion lawer gets dismissed on docket . Defendant gets to give their money time and life to state for a while and then in end dismissed ..people if you did it say so , TAKE THE GRACE OF THE GOOD lORD TO KNOW OUR FAULTS AND CORRECT THEM THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE TO BE BETTER but if you are innocent STAND TILL YOU CANT NO MORE, FIGHT WITH ALL YOU CAN .WITH ALL THIS MAN SAID AND OUR CHILDRENS CHILDREN WILL STILL HAVE RIGHTS TO BE THE SOMEWHAT FREE WE ARE , THANKYOU FOR STRAIGHT FORWARD KNOWLEDGE AND FACTS TO THE TRUTH TO BE KNOWN EASILY AND PROVED UP IN COURT WITH THE lAW..AWESOME THANKYOU

I personaly know of a case that another indavidual won 90 k for the victims family without their knowlege the survivors recieved the check anonomusly as the murder case never was brought to a criminal trail yet the family still was able to win the civil case that they had no idea was taking place in their behalf so survivors took it to the attorney general after the cops told them it was good and to cash it and do what they wanted with the money 90 k was more money back then then it is now how can this happen oh and the victims daughter who took the check to attorney general awoke to a gun in her face and a man telling her to cash the check and get the hell out of town

How do you know if the defendant has more medical records than other locations and other states?

[@yougotthis2800]

Can anyone answer why during civil litigations, a opposing party may ask during the discovery questions/admissions like “If you have ever been convicted of a crime (other than a traffic violation), please provide the date of the conviction, the crime charged and the court where the conviction was entered. “ OR asking for the person to “identify all other lawsuits in which you are or were a party, including, but not limited to, civil, criminal, domestic and/or bankruptcy proceedings, and list for each suit the case number, the name of the court, the style of the case, the subject matter of the case, the amount in controversy, the court’s holding, and the amount of damages awarded, if any.”

[@jamesblake5176]

Does case law you plan on citing in your argument have to be presented as evidence for discovery?

[@gabriellamar2683]

No, because case law is not considered evidence.

He talking about p biddy case ?

[@veronicalamkin7807]

My testimony was that my boyfriend did not hurt me and that my police statement was a lie. I testified that I lied because my family held my son from me and in the hallway of court my boyfriends mom witnessed my mom yelling at me that if I don't repeat what I wrote in the statement I would never see my son again. They still didn't believe my testimony. The only evidence they have is a police statement I wrote. No physical evidence of any kind and no injuries and I'm the only witness. The police who testified also said he couldn't remember if I was crying or not and I feel you'd remember that. I had to testify I couldn't remember everything I wrote in the statement because I had to make things up as I was writing things. It's now going to trial and I've already given up
