Is there a way I could see what evidence was used in a specific trial? And how/where would I find that information?

Richard Keith Oliver
Answered by attorney Richard Keith Oliver (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Law Office of Rick Oliver
If you have a specific cause number, you can see what evidence was admitted by reviewing the reporter's record. Those aren't public record, though. So, you'd have to contact the reporter who handled the trial, find out what the coast would be, and make payment arrangements. You can request ant portion of the record you want. If you're only interested in seeing what was admitted, you can request only the portion of the record indexing admitted evidence. If you want to know what was admitted, and how it fit in to the trial strategy, you would need to review the entire record. There is no other way to get the information you are asking for, too my knowledge (other than asking the lawyers, obviously).

How do I get a felony expungement for criminal trespass and theft?

Cynthia Russell Henley
Answered by attorney Cynthia Russell Henley (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Cynthia Henley
First, criminal trespass is not a felony. It is a misdemeanor. And, a theft for under $400 is a misdemeanor, too. I'm not sure what you are talking about when you mention taking checks and using them to eat. That could result in all kinds of charges including theft, fraud, etc. And, generally people in Texas are given probation on their first offenses unless the underlying facts are really heinous so to get 90 days for an offense is kind of a lot, but it indicates that it was a misdemeanor. Assuming that you got jail or prison time for your cases, then you do not qualify for an expunction not for nondisclosure. If you got deferred adjudication on either of them and successfully completed it, then you could petition the trial court to seal that record. (It is not automatic and does not hide your record from everyone. The army would still be able to find it as well as law enforcement and licensing agencies.) The only way to be eligible for an expunction is to be found not guilty or to have the case dismissed before indictment (felony) or have the case dismissed after indictment if there is evidence that the indictment was obtained with false information (not illegally obtained; felony) or have the case dismissed (misdemeanor.)
