The defendant’s attorney argued that this was his first drug charge and stated that the defendant was indeed eligible under Virginia law to receive first offender status. The first offender program included a decision that the judge would withhold for one year. It also included that the defendant, was to serve 100 hours of community service, be subject to random drug tests, and was to wave his 4th Amendment rights of unreasonable searches and seizures for one year. The judge then asked to hear his prior criminal record. The attorney then representing the Commonwealth of Virginia began to list a long list of incidents, which included; Breaking and entering, and grand larceny in 2003, assault and battery in 2004, and a D.U.I. with a failure to appear in court in 2012. After hearing a longer list than stated above, the judge stated “I think I have heard enough. It seems to me that you are trying to obtain first offender status to avoid another conviction.” The defense began to argue that the defendant at the time he was stopped on his moped was heading to one of his three jobs. The judge stated, “I assume he was using the moped due to his D.U.I.” in which the answer was “yes”. The judge then asked the attorney for the Commonwealth of Virginia to present his argument, in which he surprisingly stated that overall in the defendants circumstances he was “trying to do the right thing” by having three jobs and working hard. The judge interjected and

On Monday, June 20, I was not given any direct assignments as Liz was out for the day and Kathleen had finance meetings all day. That being said, I took the initiative to read over the case information of the pre-trial meetings and trials scheduled for Tuesday. This week’s pre-trial charges include: retail theft, operating without insurance, operating without a license, operating while suspended, improper turn, and failure to yield while emerging from an alley. After reading over the police reports and case information, I decided to make use of CCAP to see if the defendants had any more encounters with the law in other counties in Wisconsin. While some defendants did not have any record outside of Manitowoc, others had no record in Manitowoc, but an extensive record in other counties. This made me realize why it is so important that Liz makes use of CCAP before meeting with the defendants, because if she only sees their records in Manitowoc, she might give them a better offer for having a “clean record.” Overall, looking through the reports and histories of the defendants gives me an idea of how the defendants might behave and what kind of offers Liz might give them in the pre-trial meetings. As for the trials scheduled for Tuesday, both defendants have been charged of possession of THC. After looking through the case information, I actually recognized the cases as they had been two of the cases that were canceled earlier in the summer due to some conflict with the

Judge McKeon imposed a suspended 30-year prison sentence, which the man will not serve if he successfully completes probation. This included a community-based sex offender treatment program and no unsupervised contact with minors. McKeon wrote that a longtime sec offender treatment specialist Michael Sullivan recommended community based treatment on grounds that the man was at low risk to repeat his crime. Based on this testimony, treatment within the community provided. “A better opportunity for rehabilitation.” and “ for the ultimate protection of the victim.” A state exception to what’s supposed to be a mandatory sentence policy is meant, “to encourage and provide opportunities for an offender’s self-improvement, rehabilitation, and reintegration back into a community.” The wife and mother of the offender has both agreed that 25 year prison term is not the best punishment. They say this in regards for their two sons and the relationship between them and their father. Both women have stated that they will be devastated if their dad is no longer a part of their

P is pleasant and cooperative during the arrest and was taken into custody without incident. He was released the next day with a court date. He obtained legal defense and faced the judge with both fear that he would be incarcerated and confidence that he had a defensible case. Much to his surprise, the judge imposed a harsh sentence to 90 day substance use treatment at the corrections facility. However, Mr. P is defensive when confronted with his alcohol use and denies that his drinking and driving is harmful behavior. He denies that this behavior is harmful to his work environment, other than if he were to be incarcerated, which he would then lose his job. He denies the seriousness of the charges against him. He is shocked at the harsh sentence that the judge has leveled against

Since the last report I have continued to experience a lot more cases and different types of courts. The different courts range from drug court, veterans court, mental health court, recovery court, and so forth. Recently I experienced my first veteran’s court, which I saw two very familiar faces. I actually got to see Denise who works at the VA and Carl who is a probation officer for the veterans. They came and gave a presentation when I had your Interpersonal Relations class fall semester. They are very well respected and take their job very seriously. One of the veterans were graduating from the program offered to veterans when they commit a crime. The court was decorated with a lot of American flags to show support of the veterans who have fought for our country.

Morrison, Colorado has the reputation for being a speed trap. Nonetheless, despite its well known reputation, it's a fair guess that the majority of its revenue still comes from traffic violations. Most smaller municipalities are highly dependent on traffic ticket income. It's the way it is in America. If you haven't caught on to this by now, then you need to get out more.

According to a recent survey, America has more lawyers per capita than any other nation on earth. At last count, the American Bar Association reported that there were over 1.1 million licensed attorneys in the U.S. With easy access to skilled professionals, it is frankly shocking that 50 percent of Americans die without a last will and testament!

A prison has always been a place to imprison others, often to take criminals away from society. However, people do not know that a lot of these criminals have some mental health issues leading to their own mental destruction; they are ill. People with a mental disability have always been of great importance when talking about the Criminal Justice System. Mental health issues should protect someone from being convicted of a crime.

Even if it's ok for me, there's a court order. You don't have any understanding about it or what it's for. You and your family want everything happens according to your wish and that's the law for you. You've been playing with the law. Even after the order in place, your family did a social media violence, broke into the home, forcing me and threatening me. All these happened under your cruel family instructions to you. They don't care others lives or not even the country law. Seriously, others can't believe the behaviors of you people.
