I've been summoned to court after my case was dismissed?
Were you to have had the 2 counts of child endangering and aggravated menacing dismissed and you committed child endangerment and aggravated menacing again you will have placed yourself in a very difficult situation as the prior offense may be considered by the court in the evaluation of the sentencing were you to be convicted. You are in trouble and it is wise for you to appear at the time and date on the summons or you will be held in contempt of court and if you don't show up a warrant will be issued for your arrest. It's time to face the music and I suspect you may have violated a court order and that is why you are being summoned after your case was dismissed. I will tell you truthfully the courts don't take lightly child endangerment and aggravated menacing and the judges tend to throw the book at the offenders. There is no excuse for an adult to endanger a child or commit aggravate menacing as adults are supposed to protect and love children and even the hardest prisoners in prisons recoginze this and will beat up and sometimes kill those who have done anything against a child. I will not judge you, I leave that to the courts.
Why did my summons get dismissed?
I received two summons (one for possession of alcohol by a minor which I was supposed to go to court for to pay, and one for public consumption of alcohol). I paid the 25 for the public consumption one via mail and was supposed to go to court for the other one. While waiting for my court date I received a letter in the mail saying both summons got dismissed and no appearance in court was necessary, etc. they also sent me my 25 dollars back. I never called an attorney or lawyer or anyone at all. How did my cases both get dismissed? I mean I'm glad but very confused how this happened if I didn't try to dismiss them at all. Not sure if it matters but I am 19 and the alcohol was found behind me ten feet away and they assumed it was mine even though it was my friends and only gave me both summons.
Can a wrong social security number get charges dismissed?
My husband called the police so he could get his clothes out of the house peacefully after we had an argument. I ended up getting arrested because the police told me to be quiet in my house and I wouldn't. I was charged with breech of peace and obstruction of justice. Didn't have bail and was released with a summon to appear in court in July. On the summons my social security number and height are wrong is that enough to get the charges dismissed?? I have never been arrested before so I have no clue. The didn't read me my rights either. If they are not dismissed what will the punishment be?? I live in Virginia just FYI. Thanks.
NYC cop wrote wrong address on summons?
I got a summons for entering without paying on the subway with my friend. We're both underage and got the summonses. I was looking at the summons and he wrote my address completely wrong but it has my mom's name on it and my phone number. Can they still find the correct address or will they just dismiss it?
Have you ever been summoned to Jury duty?
I got summoned for the 16th of January. It's at the criminal court across the street from where I work. I work at the civil courthouse. This is my very first time. Have any of you ever been been summoned before? If so, what was your experience like? Were the attorneys mean? One of my sisters got summoned to criminal court and she said the da was rude and intimidating.
How can my wife who isn't a U.S. citizen, be summoned for jury duty?
Most states (indeed, I believe, all now) use driver license records and possibly other records such as property ownership or public utility customer records as sources for names of potential jurors, in addition to the traditional source of voter registration records. The odds are that the data transfers that the court gets from the other agencies from which they draw names do not indicate citizenship status (indeed, the source agency might not even have that information in their own records) and thus the court has no way to know that your wife is not a citizen.She should call the jury administrator and let them know that she is not a citizen, and they will excuse her as ineligible (no state currently allows non-citizens to serve on juries as far as I know). The summons should have information on who to contact.
What careers get people dismissed from jury duty the most often?
A military career is guaranteed to allow one an exemption from even showing up to jury selection. Even if they attempt to summon me, I have a blanket exemption.The next most likely way to get dismissed is to be in STEM. If your training is to think about where facts may lead, trying to separate emotion or partiality, then the side with the weaker case will find a way to complain about you as a jurist. They call you “super jurors”…but you don’t even get to wear a cape! A lot of civilian scientists and engineers I work with get summoned, but dismissed from the jury, even though in this area that is a high concentration of the population (relative to national average)…so much for being tried by a jury of your peers!So as a military officer with a PhD in physics, my odds are slim-to-none! (None for now, very slim once I retire…but then I will have to show up for the summons at least.)Court Martials cannot be as picky, though, so I may yet serve on a Court Martial while in the military—we shall see.
If you're summoned for jury duty, but not selected, when you leave, are you given any form of paperwork or anything documented at all along those lines?
When you say not selected but when you leave that suggests that you did show up to court and just were not selected for any panel.You still should receive a statement for the days that you did appear and receive payment if your employer does not pay you. The best use for the statement is to prove that you did serve if you receive another request too soon. The law here says no more than every two years although the policy is not to bug you until after four years.Here they have Telephone Standby…. so you might receive a summons but not be selected to report to courthouse at all. In that case you get nothing and just have to hope they don’t bug you again for the statutory period.
