Depends on how legit the charge is.  If you're absolutely certain you did nothing wrong, you can refuse to sign it and request court-martial.  I wouldn't recommend this unless you're positive of your innocence.  Either way, you should seek legal advice.

As a Marine Gunnery Sgt. I will give you the best advice I know how to give you. First, don't appologize. Other than being a sign of weakness, it also acknowledges acceptance of wrongdoing. And what you said, and why you said it was NOT wrong. Honest open debate is ALWAYS a good thing, even if closed minded people, or uneducated people are around who don't know how to do so. You were merely playing the role of the Devil's advocate. It took guts to do such a thing, and I for one, commend you for it. And to those who would challenge you for doing so, I would simply remind them that that is what I have served my entire carreer to protect and defend. I have been shot, and I have killed, simply to defend your right, and the rights of others worldwide to play the Devil's advocate without fear of retribution.

There is an old police saying - "There are two sides to every story, and the truth lies somewhere in between".  Obviously, there is a lot more to this story you haven't explained.  You can't just give generalities, and expect any officer to come up with a solution, let alone, criticize the police officers who handled your situation.  Your first step should be the hiring of an attorney.  Aside from defending you in court, he will be your best counsel in a future course of action.  Second, I think you will be surprised on how reasonably priced the services of a private investigator can be.  His mission is primarily a fact finding one, and can supply your attorney with the necessary information to not only vindicate you, but assist you in prosecuting the low life scum you are talking about.

You'll be asked questions and be expected to answer them as truthfully and completely as you can...There shouldn't be opposing counsel trying to trip you up...I believe you can have your own lawyer present to protect yourself from screwing yourself over...You can probably be expected to be told, to not talk about your testimony...Then you may expect a subpoena to testify during the trial.

Unfortunately, Nebraska (lived there for 6 years) is behind the times.  You cannot find out information online.  The best thing to do is to call the district attorney's office (or if you know who your friends lawyer is call them) and ask questions.  I had to do this for my stepson.\n\nGood luck

Very simple process. A group of jurors (16 to 23) will sit in a room and be presented with the case. They will call you in, and a lawyer will ask you questions about what you know about the case. That's about it! Good luck!

This sounds like a deposition.  An attorney is obligated to investigate the facts before bringing charges in a criminal trial or filing a civil action in a law suit.  If they don't and the charges or action is wrong, the attorney can face sanctions or discipline.  The fact finding phase of a trial is known as "discovery".  Parties who have knowledge of the affair are asked questions or sign affidavits.  Both sides have an opportunity to investigate and do their own questioning of any person who would testify.  In a criminal trial, there is a constitutional right to force adverse witnesses to appear and swear by oath or affirmation in open court.\n\nIn a civil deposition, at least one attorney from either side will be present, usually at the office of the attorney who is running the deposition.  There will also be a court reporter.  One of the attorneys will ask the witness a series of questions for a maximum of 1 day of 6 hours.  The other side will make objections, but the witness still has to answer.  Those objections are later brought up before a magistrate or judge and if they are sustained, that part of the testimony will be stricken.  A witness in a deposition testifies under oath as if they were in court.  If they are later brought into court during the trial, they are bound by what they said at the deposition and could face perjury charges if they contradict themselves.\n\nFor a good view of a civil deposition, read part of the book or see the movie "A Civil Action" with John Travolta.  For criminal interrogation, Law and Order is a good drama (that is nothing like the real thing but is entertaining).\n\nAs a drama, the attorneys are trying to get the witness to reveal something or to hide something.  The witness may feel remorse but at the same time fear of punishment (from the law or the boss).  A conflict results from the lawyers who are bound by the law, and the audience who wants to see the truth revealed.  In actuallity, the role of the court is to protect each party's legal rights, promote substantial justice, and resolve disputes.  It is not the role of the court to find the truth.  The audience wants to see this however.\n\nIn most scenes, the lawyer is defeated in a deposition by words.  Either their objections fail or the words of the attorney create enough guilt to get the witness to break down and come up with the "truth".  There is a conflict between the witness and the parties of the case, between the lawyers and their clients, between the lawyers themselves, and between the lawyer and the witness.  You must discover what this conflict or relationship is between each role and this will tell you how to act.\n\nGood luck!

I answered in your initial question, and will gladly answer anything I can. \nI have a high school sweetheart, a baby brother, a dear friend and a pen pal in the system and have, in their causes, become an advocate for the protection of basic inmate rights (No, I don't think it should be summer camp, but the law requires humane & sanitary conditions and consistant application of policy and THAT is what I try to see upheld)I am also involved in a website you may find useful, http://www.prisontalk.com\nIf you'd like to get information straight from the horses mouth, may I suggest that you create a questionaire and send it to inmates at a few different facilities?\nHere is a good place to find leads if that idea appeals to you. http://prisontalk.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=-1&f=294

Stand up to the warrents and try to trade the warrents in for Navy time. Negotiate.\n\n\nCLEAN RECORD?!?! NO! I have a friend in the Navy right now who would have went to prison for stealing a car and wrecking it while drunk. The judge said he could get out of jail time if he joined an armed foces... He chose the Navy.

If it is the opening speech give a summary of what the case is about:\n\nLadies and Gentleman of the jury today stands before you an innocent man( or woman ),_name here__________, accused of ___________. During the course of these proceedings we will demonstrate that _______________ could not possibly have done ____________________. Why? Because on the day of the incident ___________________ was not at the crime site. Further, ________________ did not own a weapon. And the police didn't ask this one important  question:________________.\nThank you.

At the outset of any jury trial the judge will ask a number of disqualifying questions such as (they will be relevant to the trial at hand):\n\nDo you  know the defendant?\nHave you worked in law enforncement?\nHave you been convicted of _______?\nIs anyone in your family a police officer?\nWould serving on the jury of a 3 week trial induce an unreasonable burden (financial, family etc)?\n\nThe judge is probing to find jurors that might be biased. Answering yess to any of these initial questions will probably get you off. But if you do answer yes to these qustions, be prepared to elaborate on your response. Judges don't like jury jumpers. The judge will use the scorn of your fellow potential jurors to keep you from escaping easily. You'oll probably be further questioned in front of the entire group of potential jurors. \n\nIf this doesn't work. Then during the Voi Dire (when the lawyers start questioning) you will have a second chance. This round of questioning is meant to weed out jurors that might be detrimental to either sides particular case. Each side has a limited number of objections available to them and may have a number of jurors removed. These will be questions that obviously favor a specific side in the case such as:\n\nWould you be more or less likely to believe a member of the law enforcement community?\nDo you find someone more credible if they hold a higher educational degree?\n\nMy best advice would be not to outright lie, but stretch the truth. Don't be the first one to respond to a judges questioning. The first person is usually the scapegoat for the judges speech on how jury service is a civic duty. Choose your timeing wisely, because if you onject more than once the judge will recognize your evasive tactics. Also I would not try for the "unreasonable burden" argument. There are very few legitimate circumstances that fall under these category.

Wow I don't know if senior pranks are ever considered good, at least by the administration. Some pranks me and my buddies pulled. Bleached the grass on the football field and quad area with are class year. But thats over played. Favorite was we JB Welded the locks to the administrative building so the secretary's and principals couldn't get into there office, you can also use sunflower seeds packed into the lock so it doesb't damage the lock it'll just take some man hours to clean the locks. My buddy called in a fake bomb threat, I wouldn't recomend that, it cost him over 50k in legal fees, 1 week in jail, and 200 hours of community service, he got caught of course. Some other pranks we pulled Where egging cars and goofy stuff like that. One of the funniest was we took the fork lift from auto shop and lifted the principals car and drove it two blocks down from the school, he went to leave and couldn't find his car so he reported it stolen, the p.d. while responding drove past his car and told him he was a dumb ass because he couldn't remember where he parked! Wish you luck!

practice answering typical questions they may ask you.......like.\n1) describe a time you were involved in a conflict, and how did you deal with/resolve it.\n2) tell me about a time when you had a deadline which you realised you could not meet. What did you do?\n3) teall me about a time you were told to do something by a superior you did not agree with. what did you do? \n\nthe trend in this country is to ask 'situational' questions....to find out how you deal with certain situations.\n\nbut seriously, be yourself......smile...you'll be great!!!!
