sixth ammendment rights

My brother was arrested for a misdemeanor and two weeks prior to trial the public defender told him there are 4 felony charges. Isn't this a violation of his rights to know what he is charged with prior to arraignment? He asked his public defender this question and he didnt really give a reply.

Certified Mail

Hi there,

Approx 3 weeks ago I unfortunately

got involved in a drunken Bar fight

and struck someone in the head with

my fist. At the time, the fight was

broken up and we were sent our

separate ways. No police were

involved at the time.

3 weeks later, I have arrived home,

only to find a receipt from the USPS

stating I have a letter by Certified

mail to pick up at the post office....

I am now worried sick, since I am not

expecting anything important in the

mail and after numerous chats with

colleagues and internet searches I

am led to believe this is the best way

to commence legal proceedings i.e.

certified mail for a Court summons!

Help me I am worried sick and

thinking should i even pick up the

certified mail ?

Is this how cases are usually handled

in US and in particular NYC

Pending Charges

If you are arrested and finger printed does that mean you have charges pending? The arrest showed up on a finger print background check for a job, however when I contacted city, state and federal they have no information on this- could charge be pending. I am interested in applying for another job that will check my finger prints and I would like to visit a friend in prison, so I need to know if these are considered pending charges

arrest

I am sitting in the front of the police station deciding what to do, my husband and I had a huge fight, I wanted him to leave the house, but he wouldnt, meanwhile they ran the license plates on my car and sent 2 officers to my house without my knowing. They arrested my husband even tho I told them not to. I never entered the station, never signed a complaint. Is this legal, can they do that?

restution(court odered) criminal case

my boyfriend who is doing time in prison was odered to pay restution to a lady whos car he stole and wqrecked in a police chase was awarded a medical settlement of at least 5,000 dollars. he owes the lady at least 3500 dollars fo her car. can he get his money before the lady finds out about the settlement, or does she have to sue hom in order to get her money? And since the money was awarded to him while he is in prison will he get it put on his books while in prison, and will the courts know about it and take out the Restution while he is locked up and give the woman her money owed?

Undercover prostitution

I was arrested for loitering with the intent to prostitue in an undercover sting operation in 2007. The undercover officer was standing outside of a house when I approached him. He asked me how much again for sex, I said, ''huh what are you talking about, are you a police officer'', he said no, & we proceeded to the front door. He then acted like he was opening the door, then said is it okay if we f**k right her on the floor, I said, ''what'' & started to walk away. I was then placed under arrest for loitering w/intent to solicet prostitution. I heard that only a uniformed police officer could arrest someone on that charge? Is this true? Also during the interagation, I did admit to receiving money for sex in the past. Should I plead guilty or not guilty? I was also arrested for DUI in 1999.

do your kids (14 yrs old) have the right to always have you present when talking to the police and do they have the right to refuse a lie detector test

restraining order

My younger brother recently broke up with his girlfriend of 4yrs. She still calls him just as much as he calls her to try to work things out. although she is not ''all there.'' Two days ago the police department asked him to come down to speak with him and they arrested him because she took out a restraining order on him the day before but he did not know this. are they allowed to arrest him like they did and hold him for two days in jail and then make him sign the restraining order papers after? like i stated neither did him or anyone of us was aware there was a restraining order. if we knew that first he would of avoided her.
