You shouldn't be held longer than a few hours but in reality...

The only time you must be read your rights is if you are going to be questioned and your answers might be used against you in court.  This is the same in every state.  Your Rights of Due Process say that you may be held for 24 hours without being charged and 72 hours before seeing a judge or having bond set.\n\nBest wishes!\n\nDaniel\niPowerGRFX Web Development\nhttp://www.ipowergrfx.com\nhttp://www.publicadjuster.com\nhttp://www.americanisraelicourtreporters.com\nhttp://www.wlalwcc.org

I was jailed for 10 months for assisting an offender and perverting the course of justice. I lied to the police about the whereabouts of my then boyfriend who was wanted by the police. My boyfriend had stabbed somebody that beat up his sister badly and i covered up for him. I thought my sentence was pretty harsh and still do as hit and run drivers get a fine and 3 points even if the victim dies.I wasn't a danger to or harmed anyone.

Filing a false report is a class c misdemeanor, which is punishable by up to 30 days in jail and $1,250 in fines. These sorts of things are often lowered to "violations" though, meaning that you would just pay a fine.

have a  friend that had to make same choice (different charges, she's wearing a braclet for a year) Take the 45 days! Your friends will still come see you and usually your probation officer will give you time out to do important things with advance notice.  Have you ever been in jail, even over night?  County jail is prob where you will be and it's the worst.  You'll be sorry if you choose jail. Trust me!

Not always.  If it's a minor infraction like a speeding ticket, then stuff like miranda doesn't really enter in explicitly.\n\nIf, however, you're talking about a real criminal charge where they haul you off to jail, then yes, you should be read your rights and placed under arrest.

You have to show up at the date and time and court specified. You may have to wait a while before your case is called, but if you are not in court when it is called, you will be defaulted, and a warrant may issue for your arrest.

There is a statute of limitations for how long the DA has to file a case, depending on whether it's a misdemeanor or felony, and what kind of felony.  \n\nBut, you would not have gone to court or had to post bail if charges were not filed.  What else does your paper work say?

The police can detain any person at any time for reasonable cause and you can be held under suspicoun until you have been cleared or charged.  I believe there is a 72 hour limit on how long they may hold you till they must either free or charge you.

The imprisonment is about 6 months to 12 years depending upon the evidence presented and the defense adopted by your friend's husband.  The crime commited is already a grave offense because it involves fraud.

Yeah, they can pretty much do what ever they want. Right now my brother is sitting in jail because an officer said he kicked a car door into his leg. This is considered assault on an officer, and that is a felony. If he is convicted he could serve 2 to 10 years. It sucks because we can't do anything about it, and it is all because this officer wants to lie.

The conditions under which stayed charges can be reinstated are usually set at the time the stay is issued, by the judge who issued the stay.\n\nTime served ordinarily entails time spent in jail.

Statutes of Limitations only apply when the perpetrator is unknown to the state.  A warrant names the person to be arrested, therefore the clock stops ticking when the warrant is issued.  As long as the warrant was issued before the statute of limitations expired it was valid.  The warrant lives until it is executed (the person is taken into custody) or the person is confirmed to be dead.

What state are you located in?  Could be probation for a while.  Up to 28 days in a county jail... or fine of up to $5000. Note, going to jail is very rare and highely improbable.. dont worry you might just get probation  or fined/

Not as many years as you should be sentenced to for being guilty of slaughtering and assaulting the English language. Oh my gosh! "Found guilty," "manslaughter," "assault."\n\nBut I'm not winning any friends that way. Here's an answer to your question:\n\nIt depends upon the jurisdiction, whether the judge has to use mandatory minimum sentencing, whether the guilty person had a prior record, whether s/he is a juvenile. It depends upon whether the person was found guilty in a trial and the sentence was recommended by a jury, or decided strictly by the judge; or, whether the defendant took a plea bargain from the district attorney and allocuted to the crime in front of a judge; and, whether the judge followed the sentencing recommendations laid out in the plea bargain. \n\nIn some jurisdictions the charges that you have mentioned are simple and straightforward; in others, there may be degrees of seriousness of each. In New York, there is manslaughter in the "first degree" and in the "second degree." They mean different things and have different punishments associated with them.\n\nIf this person is awaiting or in the middle of the trial, the jury will possibly have some say over whether lesser-included charges can dictate the sentence. There are two ways: one is by "jury nullification," where they come up with their own charge (very rare); another is that in some jurisdictions the jury can be instructed to find a person guilty of the most serious crime that the person has committed if they believe that the prosecutor has proven guilt, but not all of the facts of the highest charge. For instance: if someone were charged with manslaughter, and was obviously guilty of involvement in the murder but had not intended to kill the victim, the jury might be able to come back with a verdict of negligent homicide.\n\nOther factors: how much time did the person spend in jail before and after the indictment? Will that be deducted from the final sentence as time-served? Is the DA trying the person for both manslaughter and aggravated assault, or is the second somehow a lesser-included charge? Will the judge run the sentences consecutively or concurrently? (The defendant might get 7 years for manslaughter and 2 for aggravated assault. If concurrent, the max is 7 years; if consecutive, the person is being sentenced to 9 years.)\n\nYour question, though, is about how many years the person would serve. Besides the variables in sentencing, there would be considerations for good behavior and decisions by the parole board. So there's no way, with the information that you've given, that anyone could tell you exactly how long the defendant you describe would have to stay in jail.

"Assault and battery" is not an official term. There are 4 degrees of assault. See the first site below for the definitions. Depending on the degree applicable, the juvenile sentence would be anywhere from community service to 129 weeks in jail. See the second site for full details.

That all depends on the crime. Some crimes, such as murder, have no statute of limitation, so they can charge someone until they die. Other, lesser crimes are limited, and it depends greatly on the offense.
