What is bill of particular pursuit to section 100.45 and 200.90 of criminal procedure law rule 31o1ET.seq of CTL.R(8)?

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
A bill of particulars is a motion asking the prosecution to be more specific in their complaint or their information. Usually the defense is requesting the prosecution be more specific in terms of dates or allegations so they can more adequately defend against the charges.

How do you remove a retail fraud arrest from your record?

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
It sounds like what you might be referring to is a diversion program, which is typical for first time offenders in your situation. Upon successful completion, the conviction will not appear on your public record and will not even appear on your public record in the meantime. It really is a good deal. Since you are between the ages of 17 and 21 HYTA would also be a possibility if for some reason you are not eligible for diversion. It should not hurt you in your career path at all since it is not a part of your public record.

Do I need an attorney for shoplifting charge?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Stephen Lewis Freeborn (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Freeborn Law Offices P.S.
In my opinion you should. As I read your question, you seem to attempt to "justify" or cheapen the offense by saying he stuff was worth only like 150 dollars". Theft is theft. Shoplift is a gross misdemeanor punishable by a maximum of 1 year in jail and a $5,000.00 fine. Depending upon your criminal record, the judge may or may not order jail time. You don't say how old you are or if you are working. Do you think an employer is going to want to keep employing you if you can't be trusted? Do you think someone is going to want to hire someone who steals. You have to disclose criminal convictions on job applications. If you are planning to attend college, a criminal conviction - especially one that goes to trust... like theft / shoplift, can disqualify you from many schools. If you are planning to apply for government loans, a criminal conviction will prevent you from doing so. Now maybe you will realize that what you did was not a little matter.... even if it was ONLY 150 dollars.
