What are the chances of a first time felony offender going to jail?
It is going to depend on a number of things: the type of crime, the way in which the crime was committed, the circumstances of the crime, and the offender's past criminal history. Let's say you broke into someone's home and stole over $250 worth of their belongings (that makes it a felony). If you did it because a bully said he would hurt your mother if you didn't get him the stuff is a more compelling reason than if you did it to get money to buy more video games for yourself and some good weed. If this was your 3rd time getting caught doing this type of thing, that ups your chances at serving time. If you broke into someone's home and found there were some kids in it with a babysitter and you terrorized everyone, that's not going to go well in court. So you see your intentions and your actions, along with your past criminal history, will be the deciding factor on whether the judge sees jail in your future. You get points on a sentencing sheet for all these different things. Rack up so many points and it's off to the slammer for you. A sentence of under a year is served in the county jail. A sentence of over a year is served in a state prison. Generally. Every state has their own rules, but that's the way it usually goes. Some crimes have a jail sentence no matter what. Gun laws in Massachusetts for example have an automatic, no getting out of it, jail sentence if the crime was committed with a gun. First time offenders that committed a non violent crime and have no past criminal history will most likely get a suspended sentence, probation and fines. Suspended means you don't have to serve the jail time as long as you do your probation and pay the fines. If you screw up, you will be put in jail to serve the original sentence.
What can a landlord do if a tenant refuses to leave after an eviction notice?
That depends on what you mean by “eviction notice.”An eviction notice is issued by a court after a legal process in which the landlord has been awarded possession of the premises.The eviction process is handled by a court and, if necessary, by local law enforcement pursuant to a court order. If the tenant refuses to leave after the eviction notice has been served then he or she will be forcibly removed from the premises. There is nothing the landlord needs to do.A landlord cannot issue an eviction notice because only a court has the power to evict someone from their home.But a landlord can issue a “termination notice” or a “notice to vacate” or similar notices to the tenant pursuant to the terms of the lease. If such notices have been properly issued and served, and the tenant refuses to leave, then the landlord must file a dispossession action in the local civil court which, after due process, will result in the court issuing an “eviction notice” as described above.
Does a misdemeanor go away? How long does it take?
How long do you have to list it might be a better question. They don't go away. After a certain period of time they are simply not relevant. A misdemeanor a year ago is certainly more ‘serious' than that exact same misdemeanor ten years ago.How long does it need to keep being brought up? That depends on a particular job and its requirements and how the question is asked. But it's always there unless dismissed or expunged or pardoned if someone wants to dig that far and deep into the past.
How long can you sit in jail on a bench warrant before a judge sees you?
In the United States if you are arrested on a bench warrant, starting at the time you are booked into jail the jailers have 72 hours to present you before a judge. It doesn’t necessarily have to be the judge that signed the warrant, but a judge with jurisdiction none the less. That 72 hours rule applies for any arrest as a matter of fact.If after 72 hours you have not been presented before a judge then you will have to be released.True story, I was held for 74 hours once. I was arrested and sent before a judge, the judge released me but for some reason I was escorted back to jail on a “detainer” which is another warrant in the system. So i get back to the jail and that 72 hour clock started ticking again, starting from 0:00. So after 72 hours I raised hell, I requested a sergeant multiple times and plead my case that I have been in 72 hours on a “detainer” and haven’t seen a judge. One time the one guy looked at the other guy and laughed, made me feel like shit. Now it’s been 74 hours (2 hours past my constitutional limit) when suddenly the door to my cell is popped open, I am told to get my shit and get out, so I got out, went straight down to booking and was shown the door immediately. The funny thing about that is normally when someone is released from THAT jail they have to go to booking and it takes a couple hours, you sit in a cell, go to the desk answer questions, go back to the cell…. that wasn’t the case this time, they literally handed me my property and pointed at the exit door and said “leave”. They knew they fucked up, after some research I came to find out that the “detainer” that had me behind bars for 74 hours was nothing more than the original warrant that the judge had already released me on, it just happened to pop back up in the system I guess. IDK, I think I could have pursued it and maybe sued, it costed me an entire weekend from work.

Would you throw a bunny rabbit off the Empire State Building for $78,332?
Definitely not.I’m a poor bootstrapper (by choice right now) and I could definitely use the money.I’m also a vegan animal lover and that would definitely qualify as animal cruelty.The poor bunny would probably have a heart attack as soon as it was let go.I’ve been my bunny’s slave for 5 years now so he knows me pretty well. Yet, whenever I put him down after holding him, he jerks when he doesn’t feel that one of his paws has proper footing on my body as I’m letting him go.Also, bunnies get carsick pretty easily. They can die from the uncertainty of the experience of riding in a car. Rushing through the air would definitely harm them fatally, almost immediately.:(UPDATE 2/20/2017:Would you take an innocent life for money?That’s how I read the question, OK!What if “bunny” was replaced with “your baby/daughter/son/cousin”?Some people would kill your child for that money.(That’s a nice and reasonable thing to say- look at all of the child predators out there.)I wouldn’t take the life of ANY INNOCENT CREATURE for ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY for ANY REASON.Some people have different value systems whether misogynist, speciesist, sexist, or otherwise.I didn’t write comments on your answer like, “What a monster!” So don’t write comments on my answer saying, “Really? That’s a lot of money!”I don’t think your reasoning is wrong if you would kill the bunny.It is just different than mine. My values can change. So can your values change.At this point in my life, I would not kill a bunny. You would. The facts are the facts and your answer is just as good as mine.Just don’t try to influence my opinions or actions.
