Rhode Island
The police were called out on a domestic violence call because my girlfriend and I were having a argument. Some lady called and my ex and I had already left before the police had arrived. They saw me walking, stopped and asked for I.D. I had other outstanding warrants at the time and that is why I was brought in. While I was serving the time for the other charges people at the court told me that if I plead nolo they would run the time for that charge concurrent with the others. I was 18 and stupid and even though I didn't do anything I didn't want to take the chance of serving more time. Now, I am still dealing with problems stemming from this arrest years ago. There was no complaining witness, my ex tried to have the charge dropped multiple times and is willing to do what she can now to help me get rid of this. Nothing had happened and so there was no proof for them to use in court. I want to know if I can appeal this judgment and have it out of my life and also off my record. Thank you.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
