Q. plea deal changed my simple possession to possession of paraphernalia but on courtbar it still says sim. pos. why?

June 17, 2018

A: You should contact your previous attorney, or go to the clerk's office for the most specific answer to your question. Courtbar.org appears to link to the Virginia Supreme Court's website, which I am very familiar with. When you pull up your case, under "charge information" it will have "possession of marijuana," correct? But, if you look directly below that field, and go down three other fields, you should see a field titled "Amended Charge." In THAT field, you should see, "possession of paraphernalia."

You're probably overlooking that field, which shows what your charge was changed to, and only seeing the original charge, and the guilty finding. But, if there was a guilty finding, you should examine whether the charge was amended, and what it was amended to. That will be the charge you were found guilty of, not the original. ... Read More

Q. What do I do if I’ve been charged for lying to a police officer when I didn’t really lie to them?

June 17, 2018

A: If you have been charged with a crime, the burden of persuasion before the court if on the Government. In other words, the government has to convince the judge / jury that there is no reasonable doubt that you lied to them. That is an extremely high burden to meet. Obviously, preparation of a defense in a situation that you describe requires the time and attention of an attorney, and you should contact an attorney to sit down and talk with them about the specifics of your case, so that you can chart a path forward as to demonstrating to the judge / jury that there are reasonable doubts that you lied to the officer. In order to prove that you were lying to the officer, they have to not only prove that what you said was not true, but that you KNEW it wasn't true when you said it. That is going to be the hardest part of their case against you. Whether they can prove that you knew it wasn't true, will take a thoughtful review of all the facts in your case by a skilled criminal defense attorney. You should contact an attorney for assistance in your defense. ... Read More

Q. Sentencing guidelines for 3rd larceney charge in va

June 17, 2018

A: This is not something that can be answered without meeting with an attorney, one on one. The sentencing guidelines take into account some extremely specific information about the person to be sentenced, including the number of current charges, the number and nature of the previous charges and a lot of information that are specific to the person being sentenced. The purpose of the guidelines are to create a sentencing range to recommend to the judge about the specific defendant. That recommendation range is going to be programmed around the prior criminal history, the current charges, the nature of the prior charges and a number of other nuanced factors that are designed to let the judge know how this particular defendant should be punished, how other defendants that were similar to this defendant were punished, and this particular defendant's likelihood to reoffend. You should contact a skilled criminal defense attorney and present them with all of this information so that they can calculate the guidelines for you. Alternatively, if that person is soon to be sentenced, the sentencing judge will (almost certainly, unless the parties choose to waive it) order the guidelines to be calculated, and you can get a copy of the guidelines usually a week or two before the sentencing date. ...
