All felony records will be on his background report forever.   Actually on his NCIC report all arrests and all convictions show up.\n\nNext I am surprised he can work as a bartender, in most areas they are not allowed to be a convicted felon.\n\nHe will have trouble getting work in many areas, but can find alot of jobs.  Construction,  store clerks and so on.\n\nThe longer it has been since he had the conviction the better his chance also.\n\nAnd if he keeps a clean record for 4 to 8 years, he can petition the court to espounge his conviction.\nBut he will need to show how he has improved his life.\n\nbut honestly excpet for a few fields that require bonding, there are excons working everywhere.

Try this link. It will get you to the limitations of each class of crime. You will need to know if you are looking for the limitation on a felony or misdemeanor....\n\n  http://onlinedocs.andersonpublishing.com/oh/lpExt.dll?f=templates&fn=main-h.htm&cp=PORC\n\nHere is the text:\n\n2901.13. Limitation of criminal prosecutions.\n \n (A) (1)  Except as provided in division (A)(2) or (3) of this section or as otherwise provided in this section, a prosecution shall be barred unless it is commenced within the following periods after an offense is committed:  \n\n (a) For a felony, six years;  \n (b) For a misdemeanor other than a minor misdemeanor, two years;  \n (c) For a minor misdemeanor, six months.  \n (2) There is no period of limitation for the prosecution of a violation of section 2903.01 or 2903.02 of the Revised Code.  \n  (3) Except as otherwise provided in divisions (B) to (H) of this section, a prosecution of any of the following offenses shall be barred unless it is commenced within twenty years after the offense is committed:  \n  (a) A violation of section 2903.03, 2903.04, 2905.01, 2907.02, 2907.03, 2907.04, 2907.05, 2907.21, 2909.02, 2911.01, 2911.02, 2911.11, 2911.12, or 2917.02 of the Revised Code, a violation of section 2903.11 or 2903.12 of the Revised Code if the victim is a peace officer, a violation of section 2903.13 of the Revised Code that is a felony, or a violation of former section 2907.12 of the Revised Code;  \n  (b) A conspiracy to commit, attempt to commit, or complicity in committing a violation set forth in division (A)(3)(a) of this section.  \n  (B)  If the period of limitation provided in division (A)(1) or (3) of this section has expired, prosecution shall be commenced for an offense of which an element is fraud or breach of a fiduciary duty, within one year after discovery of the offense either by an aggrieved person, or by the aggrieved person's legal representative who is not a party to the offense.  \n  (C)  If the period of limitation provided in division (A)(1) or (3) of this section has expired, prosecution shall be commenced for an offense involving misconduct in office by a public servant as defined in section 2921.01 of the Revised Code, at any time while the accused remains a public servant, or within two years thereafter.  \n  (D)  An offense is committed when every element of the offense occurs.

A prosecution is not commenced by the return of an indictment or the filing of an information unless reasonable diligence is exercised to issue and execute process on the same. A prosecution is not commenced upon issuance of a warrant, summons, citation, or other process, unless reasonable diligence is exercised to execute the same.  \n  (F)  The period of limitation shall not run during any time when the corpus delicti remains undiscovered.  \n (G)  The period of limitation shall not run during any time when the accused purposely avoids prosecution. Proof that the accused departed this state or concealed the accused's identity or whereabouts is prima-facie evidence of the accused's purpose to avoid prosecution.  \n  (H)  The period of limitation shall not run during any time a prosecution against the accused based on the same conduct is pending in this state, even though the indictment, information, or process which commenced the prosecution is quashed or the proceedings thereon are set aside or reversed on appeal.  \n  (I)  As used in this section, "peace officer" has the same meanin

You *could* be convicted of and punished for the felony possession for sales, but based on what you've said here, and depending on what county you're in (I'm guessing southern California), and your past criminal history, I'll really be surprised if you end up with a felony.  \n\nFrankly, if you've even been charged by the DA's office with a felony violation of 11359 of the Health and Safety Code, I'd be surprised.  I realize that may be what you were arrested and booked for, but ultimately it's the DA's office who decides what you're charged with and tried for.\n\nSo, while a previous poster has correctly indicated that you could get 2 - 4 years in prison under the law, I think it's highly unlikely that's what will happen (assuming you've told us all there is to know about this situation).

I have no background in Michigan law, only Illinois,  but the underlying concepts are similar in general.\n\nWhen both of the parties involved, the perpetrator and the victim, are in their teens, the authorities don't look so harshly on this as if the guy were 40, say. So they take what is essentially Statutory Rape, and soften it down to something like "sexual delinquency", or as you write, "sexual misconduct".\n\nThe guy will probably get into more trouble because of his parole violation, than for this minor sexual peccadillo.That could mean some jail time. \n\nThere are also usually some kinds of counseling that kids can be sent to, involving family and sex responsibilities. \n\nSMWAM is vague--any kind of sexual, oral, or other intimate contact could be included, with or without the girl's consent. Since she is underage, her consent is irrelevant; even if she was a willing participant, sex is not supposed to happen between persons on opposite sides of the age of majority. \n\nAnd different states define that age differently--maybe 21, maybe 18, maybe 16. A flaw of our laws is that there is no national standard for :"At what age is someone a full adult"? For tobacco there's one age; for alohol there's another; for sex, still another; for military service or voting another, etc. etc.

Well, depends on what kind of assualt, if your talking Aggravated assault then thats the wore one, but battery usually goes hand in hand with assualt. I think assualt can be a felony, depending on what kinda assault, but misconduct is just a misdemenor.

its a felony assault the person who did this should be arrested, and could get as little as 2 years in prison, if its a first offense it would probably be about 2 yrs.\n(family Experience)

In Michigan, you would need to actually go before the judge to terminate your parental rights (if the child is in Michigan at the time).  Merely writing a letter, or giving documents to an attorney saying you give up your parental rights, or "signing your rights away" is not enough. Without a judge's consent, nothing happens when it comes to parental rights.\n\nYou have the law in Michigan a little wrong.  If you are late on even ONE payment, or you pay less than the full amount on even ONE payment, you can be found guilty of a 4 year felony.  The ONLY potential way out for you is to try to make a deal with the local friend of the court (and  County Prosecuting Attorney), and/or AG's Office (if they are prosecuting it) to pay in full the past due money.  The thought there is that if they don't accept that, they aren't going to get any money... especially if you end up doing any time ( a partial high payment "might" get them to reduce it to a 2 year high-court misdemeanor... still "essentially" a felony, as it counts as a felony in the future when determining sentence enhancement if you are convicted of a future crime).  In Michigan, the only child support that can even be waived is that owed to the parent individually.  If ANY is owed to the state (usually because they covered medical costs), it can never be waived.  I hate to say it, but your attorney is right... you're screwed. \n\nMichigan treats Failure to Pay Child Support as a strict-liability crime.  There is no defense to it (other than you paid).  Not having a job is not a defense.  Not knowing (about the specifics of the law) is not a defense. A trial will usually only piss the judge off when it comes to sentencing.  Most that plea get probation, and are allowed to be supervised in their home state (assuming that the other state agrees to supervise).  Good luck-make some kind of deal-don't take it to trial... honestly... you'll lose.

The definitions of such things vary greatly by state. Where exactly is it you're talking about?\n\nEdit: Criminal Sexual Conduct in the Third Degree is a felony in MI. It can happen in several different situations:\n\n1) Sexual penetration with someone between the ages of 13 and 16\n2) Force or coercion is used to obtain sexual penetration\n3) The actor knows the person is mentally incapable or incapacitated, or physically helpless\n4) The person was related to the actor by blood to the third degree\n5) The other person is between 16 and 18 and a student at a school where the actor was a teacher or administrator, unless the student has been emancipated.

No\n\nNo state restrictions on gun-trafficking such as a limit on the number of handguns that can be purchased at one time. Gun traffickers can easily buy large quantities of handguns at gun stores and resell them on the street to criminals.\n\n\n\n\nASSAULT WEAPONS\nAre there limitations on assault weapons and magazines?  No\n\nNo state restriction on the sale or possession of military-style semiautomatic assault weapons like the AK47 and Uzi. Assault weapons are as easy to buy as hunting rifles. No restriction on the sale or possession of rapid-fire ammunition magazines that can fire up to 100 bullets without reloading. Federal law does prevent the sale of some assault weapons and rapid-fire magazines manufactured after 1994, but the federal law will sunset in 2004 unless Congress and President Bush renew it. \n\n\n\nATTORNEY GENERAL REGULATIONS\nMay Attorney General regulate guns?  No\n\nMichigan: State law does not clearly authorize the Attorney General to independently regulate firearms or establish gun safety standards as part of the Attorney General?s responsibility to protect consumers. \n\n\n\nBACKGROUND CHECK AT STATE LEVEL\nDo state police perform a background check in addition to federal NICS check?  Partial\n\nMichigan: State law requires handgun buyers to go through a state-based criminal background check in addition to the federal NICS check. But buyers of long guns (rifles, shotguns and many assault weapons)only go through the more limited federal check. This could create a serious problem since in many states the federal records are not as complete or up-to-date as state records. Failure to check state records may allow prohibited gun buyers, like those under recently-issued restraining orders or those with mental illness, to improperly buy guns. See also: Li

It depends on the state and circumstances.  In NJ it's normally a misdemeanor (disorderly persons or crime of the fourth degree) unless the manner in which the vehicle was used created a risk of injury or property damage.  Then it is a crime of the third degree (a felony).

If you are facing an indictment on a felony offense, you really should be talking to an attorney.  If you have a friend under indictment, your friend should check with an attorney.\n\nRULE 7. The Indictment and the Information\n\n(A) Use of indictment or information.  A felony that may be punished by death or life imprisonment shall be prosecuted by indictment.  All other felonies shall be prosecuted by indictment, except that after a defendant has been advised by the court of the nature of the charge against the defendant and of the defendant's right to indictment, the defendant may waive that right in writing and in open court.\n\nWhere an indictment is waived, the offense may be prosecuted by information, unless an indictment is filed within fourteen days after the date of waiver.  If an information or indictment is not filed within fourteen days after the date of waiver, the defendant shall be discharged and the complaint dismissed.  This division shall not prevent subsequent prosecution by information or indictment for the same offense.\n\nA misdemeanor may be prosecuted by indictment or information in the court of common pleas, or by complaint in the juvenile court, as defined in the Rules of Juvenile Procedure, and in courts inferior to the court of common pleas.  An information may be filed without leave of court.\n\n(B) Nature and contents.  The indictment shall be signed in accordance with Crim. R. 6(C) and (F) and contain a statement that the defendant has committed a public offense specified in the indictment.  The information shall be signed by the prosecuting attorney or in the name of the prosecuting attorney by an assistant prosecuting attorney and shall contain a statement that the defendant has committed a public offense specified in the information.  The statement may be made in ordinary and concise language without technical averments or allegations not essential to be proved.  The statement may be in the words of the applicable section of the statute, provided the words of that statute charge an offense, or in words sufficient to give the defendant notice of all the elements of the offense with which the defendant is charged.  It may be alleged in a single count that the means by which the defendant committed the offense are unknown or that the defendant committed it by one or more specified means.  Each count of the indictment or information shall state the numerical designation of the statute that the defendant is alleged to have violated.  Error in the numerical designation or omission of the numerical designation shall not be ground for dismissal of the indictment or information, or for reversal of a conviction, if the error or omission did not prejudicially mislead the defendant.\n\n(C) Surplusage.  The court on motion of the defendant or the prosecuting attorney may strike surplusage from the indictment or information.\n\n(D) Amendment of indictment, information, or complaint.  The court may at any time before, during, or after a trial amend the indictment, information, complaint, or bill of particulars, in respect to any defect, imperfection, or omission in form or substance, or of any variance with the evidence, provided no change is made in the name or identity of the crime charged.  If any amendment is made to the substance of the indictment, information, or complaint, or to cure a variance between the indictment, information, or complaint and the proof, the defendant is entitled to a discharge of the jury on the defendant's motion, if a jury has been impaneled, and to a reasonable continuance, unless it clearly appears from the whole proceedings that the defendant has not been misled or prejudiced by the defect or variance in respect to which the amendment is made, or that the defendant's rights will be fully protected by proceeding with the trial, or by a postponement thereof to a later day with the same or another jury.  Where a jury is discharged under this division, jeopardy shal
