Plaintiff appeal in rape/sexual assault

In the year 2007, a woman I know (currently, but not at the time of the incident) was raped pretty brutally. She sustained some pretty bad injuries during the assault and required surgery.

The criminal case was taken to trial in front of a judge (with no jury). The rapist was convicted but only was sentenced to a halfway house and work release. However, I understand that the judge in the first trial stated that the woman could appeal if she was still having nightmares about the rape one year later; needless to say, she still is and is terrified.

During the first trial, some important testimony that I feel should have been brought up was not presented. Important arguments were not made. The surgeon that helped her recover was out of town at the time.

With this in mind, is it legal for this woman to appeal the decision and try to get a jury trial? She says that she really wants to, and I understand that the judge in the first trial said it was possible for her to appeal under a certain circumstance. However, I am not sure if this is the case. Can this woman appeal the decision and try to get a jury trial? If so, what has to be done for that to happen?

Letter of Warning about Barking Dogs

My question is in regards to my neighbors barking dogs. Several months ago I decided to send an anonomous letter to my neighbor across the street regarding his dogs barking constantly. I printed off some information online for shock collars and a device that emits a high frequency that quiets the dogs along with a nice letter of warning asking him to please comply. Of course, the situation did not get any better and he did not heed my warning. So...I proceeded to write him formal letter and pronounced my final warning to him that I would get the proper authorities involved if he is not do something about the barking. I have had it. I am not one to complain and I can usually deal with dogs barking but these dogs are out of control. I noticed after he took the letter out of the mailbox a police officer came to his home. Is it illegal for me to send him written warnings? And if not, what can happen to me? Thanks.

does a lawyer have the right to appeal a case without the client's consent?

Right to Appeal

I was found guilty of an OWI in July of this year.

My attorney advised me to appeal the decision and go to jury trial to have it over turned. Within the 15 days I had to decide I filed for my appeal.

Now it is mid-October and the Rock Co. courts have not recognized my appeal yet, and so my license is under the same suspension as if I had not filed.

Also the court fines are not paid do to the stay of appeal I would have had and are over due creating another 1 year suspension in effect currently.

I have 3 questions:

''Who has dropped the ball on my appeal and what can I do about it?''

''I have the right to a Occupational/Restricted License

should I waste time asking for one now?''

''I talked to my attorney they said they had to talk to the judge, dose that make any sense?''

Appeal on Small Claims Judgement

Hello,

I had a small claims suit filed against me and I filed a counter claim. I won the case, the document I received stated I did not owe the plantiff any monies and they where to pay the defendant (me) $3500.00

The plantiff has now filed an appeal, I need some clarification on the appeal as the CA law seems vague on the appeal.

In the appeal is the courts decsion final on the plantiff claim and the only item in question within the appeal is my counter claim?

From what I reseached this seems like the case but it also states that the entire suit is heard all over again, does this put me at risk again on the plantiff's claim?

Thanks

Suspended Corporation allowed in Small Claims now appealing judgement

Hello,

I was sued by a suspended corporation in small claims, we filed counter claim. We won our counter claim and judgement was made that we did not owe plantiff any monies and they owed us $3500.00.

I brought the suspended corporation issue forward in the small claims hearing with a certified documentation and the small claims judge said they would take it under consideration and allowed the plantiff to continue, basically just moved on.

I won the judgement (filed for $7500 and granted $3500) and now the plantiff has appealed to the judement and this is going to superior court, still aa a suspended corporation.

What are my next steps, I really don't want to go thru this again?

1. The corporation lacked the capactiy to file suit in small claims or any court, or appeal but they where allowed to proceed? How do I bring this forward, the first plan to bring this to the attention of the judge/court wiith certified documents didn't seem to work.

2. I have an attorney, pass this off to him and ask for a default judgement for the full claim ($7500 vs $3500) granted and note the courts error in allowing a suspended corporation to file suit and provide defense?

Can I now ask for a default judgement?

Judges ruling

A friend was sentenced 23 years for a malicious wounding charge. before being sentenced the judge actually said that he did not think he was guilty. How can he be allowed to give this sentence after that statement? Is this plus lack of evidence and a number of witness discrepencies grounds for appeal

Relevant Case Decided While Decision Was Pending

While my case was pending a decision (the evidence had been presented, etc.) a case was decided that would have been very relevant to my case. How can I bring this case to the court's attention? What happens procedurally in such a situation? Do I bring it up on appeal?

Thank you so much for any help.
