IIRC didn't Wint just have the NY State misdemeanor. If that's it, that shouldn't be enough to deport him. Oh, and also that petty charge in Md when he was across from AIW - that also wouldn't be enough. However, even if there are no convictions or not enough or not the right kind you can...

That's a nice picture you have there, TexMex.

I would think if they plan any charges they would file them before trial and before they testify - assuming they will be witnesses. What the govt usually does is have the cooperating witness plead guilty to whatever they have worked out before trial but often wait until after their testimony to...

Hi, TexMex. If you don't mind I'd rather not comment.

Indictments are filed with the court. So as soon as it's filed everyone will have access to it. Then they will set an arraignment date (formal charges are read to defendant - his attorney enters not guilty pleas). If the indictment is ready close to the Status Hearing set for late September then...

If an attorney can convince the judge that a question or line of questioning somehow can negate the charges that exist at the time then the judge can allow it. It is really a case by case situation so it's hard to answer. Depends on questions, on judge, on if the prosecutor is objecting...

Thank you, rkf. That's very kind of you. The judge's background certainly gives her a broader perspective but she is not a pushover for either side. Not that you implied that. :innocent: She can be tough but she is always fair and smart and will make sure Ago is able to present a complete...

Katy, you're correct in that if there had been other arrests they would be known - if people are paying attention. I'm sure Ago knows the names of the convoy members from his client. All arrestees who have been held have to be presented before a judicial officer in court within 48 hours. The...

Kammie, yes. That's the general idea. It's not newer information that would be irrelevant to negating PC but rather charges not yet brought or lines of inquiry that wouldn't negate PC for DW. That can be tricky if they all sort of meld together into one crime. But since we haven't been privy to...

Not sure if anyone has answered you yet but, yes, there would be an attorney client privilege. If it can be established the money came from the ransom proceeds then I'm sure the lawyer will have to return the money if he hasn't already done so - though I doubt he would have billed much against...

Hi all. This thread has been an interesting read. Though I have been hesitant to register for various reasons I thought some background on DC criminal procedure might be helpful. Just as background, in D.C. every defendant charged with a felony has an initial hearing within 48 hours of their...
