How long will you get for trespassing, resisting without violence and robbery on a residence?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
Many years in prison for robbery. Or might you have meant burglary? Was it occupied? That would be 15 years. Trespass is only one year, and resisting without violence might be a 3rd degree felony, which if it is brought that way would be 5 years. So, 21 years total if the sentences run consecutively. The thing to do is hire a private criminal defense attorney to represent you.

If a magistrate makes a decision on the other party that is filing an objection, does the decision stand until the objection is held?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
I am not sure what you are talking about here. What does it mean to you that the magistrate is making a decision on the other party that is filing an objection? Who says that an objection will be "held?" Objections are either sustained or overruled.

Did they do an illegal search if my son was not home?

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
The police can search a house with permission of the owner, a valid search warrant, or a valid exception to the search warrant requirement. Whether or not your son was home while it was searched, is irrelevant. If you are in doubt of the validity of the search, have a criminal attorney review the case file.
