What will happen to me if I was given a paragraph ticket for 750?

Warrants are issued nation wide, so if you live in another state, that state's law enforcement agencies do have access to that information. You need to make your court date, it will only get worse not better for you.

What should I do if now they are charging me with misconduct with a weapon in drug paraphernalia for a sandwich bag?

Answered by attorney Laurie A. Schmidt
Criminal Law lawyer at 5280 Law Group
Get an attorney. If you cannot afford one, apply for the services of the public defenders office. This is not the time to 'go it alone.' You need someone with the experience and expertise to defend you. The court will not dismiss this just on your representations and worse, you may accidentally say something that could get you further into trouble.

Can a victim refuse to testify at trial?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Edward Jerome Blum (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Edward J. Blum
There are really two ways this comes about. First, the accuser doesn't want to testify because what seemed like a good idea (calling the cops) during an argument or to get back at someone doesn't seem like such a great idea months later when the case is set for trial. At that point, the accuser can avoid the prosecutor's subpoena. Usually, the subpoenas are served by mail (improper) and if the accuser just ignores it nothing else will happen. If the subpoena is served properly and the accuser fails to appear, the court can hold them in contempt, but CANNOT put them in jail if this is a domestic violence situation. The court can fine them and make them attend a class, but no jail. Second, the accuser can be subpoenaed to court, appear and then decide to exercise the right against self incrimination. This pops up because the accuser-witness is put in a dilemma. On the one hand, they can repeat their testimony to the cops, which may be false and if caught in the lie may subject them to perjury charges. On the other they can give new, hopefully truthful testimony, on the stand which would open them up to charges of filing a false police report earlier. Thus, if they choose not to testify and open themselves up to this, they can invoke the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. In either case, it's a good idea to consult with a lawyer if you are and accuser or other witness in this situation.
