Legal Answers
52 Questions Answered
Q. Can West Virginia subpoena a witness from Ohio in a criminal case
A: Yes, as long as the procedures are followed for an out of state subpoena. 43 states are part of a program that follow the procedures for out of state service of subpoenas. I believe that Ohio and West Virginia are part of that program.

I would check with an attorney to determine if the proper procedures were followed in serving you the subpoena.

Pat DiChiro
Q. First degree misdemeanor serve all 180 days can I be sentenced to jail for violating community control
A: You should only have 1 more day hanging over your head if you served 179 days. However, they could extend your probation.

Best wishes,

Pat DiChiro
Q. If I was handcuffed and put in back of police car do they have to read my Miranda rights before asking me questions
A: If you are not free to leave, then you are considered in custody. Thus, prior to any custodial interrogation, they should give you a miranda warning (your rights).

Best wishes,

Pat DiChiro
