How can u be charged with a hit and run if the driver of the car stopped and called 911 and was on the scene until the cops arrived?

Answered 9 years and 10 months ago by Mr. Michael Todd Hampton (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Criminal Defense
I agree, something doesn't add up in that scenario. Did they perhaps give him a ticket for something else and then he missed a court date? A lawyer would need more facts to better answer that.

Recently arrest from shoplifting. 2 priors both over 20 years ago what am I facing when I go to court?

Answered 9 years and 11 months ago by Mr. Michael Todd Hampton (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Criminal Defense

What does a time out date mean in a criminal case?

Answered 9 years and 11 months ago by Mr. Mark A. Broughton (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Criminal Defense
When an accused has not waived his speedy trial right, the "time-out date" is the last date that he/she must be brought to trial. If he/she is not brought to trial on or before that date, the case must be dismissed. This does not always mean that the case is over, however, as the DA can re-file the charges in many instances and then the case begins anew.... Read More
