Is it possible to get a restraining order against online harassment?

Mark R. Thiessen
Answered by attorney Mark R. Thiessen
Criminal Law lawyer at Thiessen Law Firm
Restraining orders are very difficult. You can try and call the police to make a report and then the police would have to give the case to the DA.

Are there any laws that prevent sex offenders from being on school grounds, within the school, at any time?

Mark R. Thiessen
Answered by attorney Mark R. Thiessen
Criminal Law lawyer at Thiessen Law Firm
You have to look at the terms of their conditions, but pretty sure if they are off probation they cannot be on school grounds. Need to research more though.

If you are charged with aa/dw 2nd. for shooting someone, if the person that was shot doesnt show up in court to testify, can you still be found guilty

Richard Keith Oliver
Answered by attorney Richard Keith Oliver (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Law Office of Rick Oliver
Yes, the State can still get a conviction, if they can prove the elements of the offense without the person who was shot. Generally, they'll bring in the cops who wrote the offense report(s), and any other witnesses who saw what happened, as you have noted. There may also be additional evidence that can be used to get a conviction. Your best bet is to hire a lawyer to fight the case; not to hope the complainant fails to show up.
