Criminal

I have a friend who recently turned 18 and recently got in trouble with the Tampa police on 11/14/2010 for the first time. He was charged with obstruction of an officer (he ran on foot from the officer. misdemeanor. Class M1) criminal mischief over $1000 (felony. Class F3). He got caught doing graffiti on a building. I am in the army reserves; my question is could I appear with my friend to court in uniform, and plead no contest? (What should he plead, is pleading no contest what you recommend?) I plan on pleading with the judge to excuse the charges, in result my friend will join the army reserves under my supervision and a recruiter's supervision (should I get the recruiter also to appear in uniform?). I plan on informing the judge if my friend doesn't keep his word to give him the maximum punishment. I would also let the judge know that my friend is surrounded by bad influences and is a victim of his environment. By dropping the charges he could join the army, get away from these bad characters, and change his life. Does the judge have the power to drop the charges, and what is the likely hold that he would do so? My friend's parents are very well off, but disowned and kicked him out for no apparent reason two years ago while he was still in high school. He has been living with a friend in their closet room; it's roughly 6 by 7 feet. While living there, he has involuntarily surrounded himself with older horrible influences. Getting him out of this setting is the only way to truly change the kid's life. I am not a recruiter but am very close to recruiters, who would work with me in this case. What advice do you have, to help our cause? Any specific word choices to use, documentations to bring, etc?

IS ARTICLE 894 A WITHHELD ADJUDICATION ?

I am working on perfecting an appeal to the New York State Supreme Court Appellate Division, 2nd Judicial Department.As per the Rules Of Procedure-22NYCRR-Part 670 and CPLR for perfecting appeals, it is my understanding that the brief consists of a cover, the statement required by CPLR 5531, a table of contents, a concise statement of the questions involved, a concise statement of the nature of the action and of the facts which should be known to determine the questions involved and the appellant's argument. Question: What do they mean by a concise statement of the questions involved? What questions? Whom asked these questions? In our litigation to date, we had my ex-wife's Motion-Order to Show Cause, my affidavit in opposition and her reply affidavit in support. These were not presented in the form of questions? Am I to take the primary points from these documents and pose them in the form of questions and answers within my appeal-brief? Please let me know. Thanks.

what are my rights if i was drugged and made a statement against myself after refusing to make a statement earlier that day. i have no recollection of one word of the statement against myself except a tape recording of it my public defender gave me.

If both you and ex-wife are co-guardians of a 19 year old son with a disability and you go to the home where he resides with his mother because he asked you to pick him up, is it legal to be given a summons for abduction when he walked out of mother's house of his own volition? His mother is a detective on the County Sheriff's Department and there is NO restraining order against me to be on the property. She had police friends give me a summons. Thank you...
