Can you plead guilty to some charges and not guilty to others?
Q. Say you are charged with multiple criminal offenses, like say murder, kidnapping, and felony assault. Could you plead not guilty to like the murder and guilty to the other two? If you do such a thing, are you sentenced for the charges you pleaded guilty to and put on the docket for trial for the charges you pleaded not guilty to? I need to know for a crime fiction novel I'm working on. The charges are different.

A. You can plead 'Not Guilty' to any charge. Even if everyone know's you did it ... It usually end's up with the person getting extra time in jail for not pleading 'Guilty' .. Here in Scotland where i live, we also have a 'Not Proven' verdict !! ... It simply mean's the police know you commited the crime but they simply cant prove it.. fc1873

What happens when someone is found not guilty of common assault / domestic violence?
Q. Just wondered on this - someone close to me has just lost their case in a magistrates court - the person was found not guilty of common assault (total miscarriage of justice!!!) in a domestic violence incident as apparently there was "reasonable doubt". Seems impossible that this was the outcome but her representation on the day was appalling. She is now worried he could sue for defamation of character or take other action against her. What are the options for someone if they've been found not guilty? Does the charge still stay on their record? Any help will be greatly appreciated as she has now lost all faith in the system.
Asked by KERRY R - Wed Sep 16 06:27:52 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Was the charge for domestic violence or presented to the court as common assault? Common assault is the lesser charge for domestic violence. If either one of them had charges in the past similar to this, domestic violence charge would have not been negotiated. Either way, a temporary restraining order should have been immediately imposed by either counsel if the judge didn't render one along with his decision. Place a restraining order against the other person involved. immediately. As far as the party found not guilty, the charge will get expunged from their record however, if the battle heats up again, there will be an order already existing and will appear a pattern of behavior that if there is a next time, will carry a harsher sentence.

A. Dear Liam, Again you pose a very controversial question but a good one so here goes. In the USA most of the people who are taken to the Court system are generally ones who have been in trouble with the Law many times and are guilty of some crime albeit maybe not the one they are charged with. so in many, many of the cases they have a plea bargain in which a person will admit to a lessor charge for less time in jail, prison or probation. They also have a deferral system if you go to drug or alcohol deferred sentencing and you complete the program then you will have the charge wiped or expunged from your record after 1 year if there are no further charges of drugs or alcohol usage in that year. Then there are major Felony case in which… [cont.]

Why does a judge require you to plead not guilty as opposed to innocent?
Q. Is it because not guilty is a negative? Innocent is a positive? It is true one can not prove a negative therefore you can not prove you are not guilty.

How guilty do you think members of the American popular media are?
Q. In this whole misinformation/fear campaign over the past 8 years, it would seem that the media has shown no integrity whatsoever. What do you think? Are they, perhaps, more guilty than members of the current administration in spreading lies and fear? IF Anyone in the current administration were to face criminal charges, do you feel members of the media who parroted their lies should be held accountable as well?

A. you might have to slow down considerably so that you can ask yourself ,before you do or say anything, if this is what you really want to do. Even if you have to not answer a question until later so you've had time to think about it. Don't be impulsive or spontaneous at least for now. Once it's a habit that you only act after you've had time to ponder the consequences, then you can start to be spontaneous and normal again.

A. Read "The Voice of Knowledge" by Don Miguel Ruiz. I think that will help. Some things he points out are that we all have a voice in our head that tries to control our lives--telling us that we should do this, not do that; he points out that there are 2 simple rules we must follow: 1. Don't believe anyone: Whatever anyone tells you about anything is only their perspective, according to the way they choose to live their life. But if it doesn't work for you, then there's no reason to feel bad about rejecting it--or rejecting someone who doesn't fit in with your life. 2.

A. If your husband will steal from you, he will probably escalate to bigger things. I would ask him about it and ask what is so important that he would violate your trust. Trust is vital in a marriage How can you respect someone who steals from you or lies to you? Remember you can't make him change or make him feel guilty if he does not want to correct the situation. Even if he feels guilty, he may not admit it. I have to wonder if he is doing drugs, gambling or has some other addiction that would make him behave in this manner. Be alert to any changes or other unusual behavior. I wish you the best,

How do we know that all 255 Gitmo detainees are guilty of terrorism?
Q. I keep reading all these worrisome statements about how Obama's planned closure of Gitmo means that Obama wants to release terrorists. First of all, to my knowledge he wants to transfer the prisoners to maximum security federal prisons, not release them.

But how is it that people seem to know for a fact that every single one of those 255 people is guilty of being a terrorist? What is the proof of that?

We know for a fact that a 14 year old boy--our youngest detainee who is now 21--was NEVER found to be involved in ANY terrorist activities. Some are very guilty.

Is the media guilty for fostering bitter division in society or would it be politicians?
Q. I have noticed nothing extremely productive is coming out of the government no matter what political side you are on. Examining media's way of emphasizing a right vs left mind has fostered feelings of hating on each other. Then after examining politicians use of words of flinging mud at each other followers begin hating their counterpart. Do you think opinionated media is guilty for fostering bitter division in society or would it be politicians? What would you suggest to help mend/heal these bitter division and get a unified society?

He died in "93 and I am still disposing of his stuff. I have a lot of stuff too. The best advice I ever received was from my best friend. "If you haven't used it in th past year, you probably never will." Be brutal. Get rid of it. The extra cash will make you feel better and knowing someone else is enjoying it, will be a hoot. If you need to collect, find something that doesn't take up much room and is likely to increase in value like coins or classic jewelry.

A. You must have missed your court date. Where I live, If you wish to have a court date, you must appear and pay the amount of the fine as a bond guaranteeing that you will show up for court. If you fail to appear for your court date, rather than issuing a warrant for your arrest and suspending your license, they forfeit your bond and apply it toward your no contest by absenteeism. Which means that you did not show up to contest the ticket. The court found you Guilty based on the evidence that was presented. Which was only the evidence of the prosecution since you failed to appear. Did you check the ticket? You should have been given a court date at the time that the ticket was issued.

A. It depends. In MN, there is an issue going on with one manufacturer of breathalyzer equipment some police departments are using. The company that makes them are not releasing the code used in them, and judges are throwing cases out because of this. They are saying it's violating the accused 6th Amendment right: "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right ... to be confronted with the witnesses against him". In other words, the machine is the one that is providing the evidence, and the defense is claiming they have a right to exam the code to ensure it is measuring accurately.
