Q. How long after indictment returned does a state have to prosecute of you're already incarcerated serving another county
A: You have a right to a speedy trial on an indictment. If the State failed to prosecute the case for 12 months--due to no fault of your own--you can raise this as a speedy trial claim and request a dismissal. There are four factors the court considers in whether to dismiss a case for a speedy trial violation: (1) the length of the delay, (2) the reasons for the delay, (3) the assertion of the right, and (4) prejudice.
Q. I'm on a deferred disposition And am not aloud to use or posses alcohol but on the marijuana box it has nothing
A: If the deferred disposition agreement and bail bond do not prohibit using marijuana then using it will not be considered a violation of either. Possessing marijuana is still a federal crime in Maine. The Justice Department is unlikely to charge or prosecutor misdemeanor possessions of marijuana in the District of Maine.
Q. In maine is it legal for my child to record on her school bus if she has felt unsafe or bus driver has been retaliating
A: There is no criminal statute prohibiting a recording on a school bus. There may be school related policies against it, but it would not be a criminal violation.
