  Your Expungement Options
Posted By Criminal Defense Editor

When you get into legal trouble, you will probably worry about how it will affect your future. If you are arrested on a minor charge, or this is your first time being arrested, it is possible to have your record expunged of any charges against you.

However, the term "expungement" does vary slightly depending on where you were arrested and the state you reside in. In most cases, an expungement means that the criminal incident will be removed from your record completely, leaving you with a clean slate. Yet in some jurisdictions, an expungement means that your arrest and/or conviction will be removed from your record, but a sealed record of it will still exist in that jurisdiction.

When you ask a judge for an expungement, he/she will consider a few things. Most importantly, the degree of your crime, i.e. felony or misdemeanor; the sentence you received; your age; and if you can successfully make a claim of innocence or not.

By calling a criminal defense lawyer now, you may get the expungement you need to protect your future and your reputation.

  What Happens in Appeals Court?
Posted By Criminal Defense Editor

If you are like many people, you are mistaken about what actually happens in an appeals court.

When someone files for an appeal, they do not get to re-open their case or discuss the facts of their case with a different judge. Instead, a federal criminal appeal is brought before a judge to discuss an error on legal grounds. The appeals process mostly takes place in writing, where one side will attack the former judgment on the grounds that a legal error has occurred.

Should your case go to an appellate court, there is no jury or court reporters. The persons involved in your appeal - your lawyers, the opposing side's lawyers and the judge(s) - are the only people to hear the appeals and decide it. In almost all cases, an appeals court will not take in new evidence or re-hear testimony from the previous trial or trials.

Need help filing an appeal?  Take the time to call a criminal defense lawyer who can provide you with needed assistance.

  What Can Expungement Do For You?
Posted By Criminal Defense Editor

If you currently have something on your record that you would like expunged, there are several things you should know about the process.

You may have heard two terms that hold similar meanings - "expungement" and "sealing" - yet they are slightly different. If your record is sealed that means it is hidden from the public record; expungement means that the criminal record is destroyed forever, as if it had never existed in the first place.

Yet you need to check with your state laws to see what their exact definition of expungement is. Some states have different legal terms that they use for expungement, like removal, destruction or expunction. In some states the term "expungement" may not mean a complete removal of your record, meaning that some law enforcement agencies would still have access to it.

Need assistance with expungement?  Hire a criminal defense attorney who can offer assistance.

  Two Men Arrested for Credit Card Fraud at Casino
Posted By Criminal Defense Editor

Two men out on parole were arrested again in Ranco Mirage, this time for white collar crimes. Erik Baca, 27, and Javier Lopez, 42, were discovered using counterfeit credit cards at four different desert casinos. They were attempting to get a large cash advance at the fourth casino, like they had successfully done at the first three, when police captured them.

When Nordstrom Visa alerted staff at the Agua Caliente Casino that a fraudulent transaction had been made at their Ranco Mirage location, they alerted security personnel at surrounding casinos to be on the lookout for the two men. Just a few hours later security cameras at the Fantasy Springs Resort caught Baca and Lopez trying to withdraw money again.

The authorities came in and took the two men to the Indio jail where they are being held without bail. Lopez can expect to stay in jail a little while longer due to the additional counterfeit cards that were located at this home by officers later that day, as well as the equipment to make them.

Authorities are still investigating the case.

Authorities say that a judge sentenced a 29-year-old Rosemead man to 84 years to life in prison for the murder of a Gabrielino High School senior.

Gabriel Guerrero was convicted of shooting 17-year-old Ryan Dasalla in April 2005, according to a Los Angeles County District Attorney's official statement.  In addition to first-degree murder charges, Guerrero also was convicted of gang and gun enhancements.  Following the conviction, the defense motioned for a new trial, but this was denied by the court.

Also accused of the murder were Guerrero's brother, who remains a fugitive, and co-defendant Sarah Toledo.  Toledo faces the same charges for allegedly helping the Guerrero brothers target Dasalla. 

The Guerrero brothers are members of the Varrio Nueva Estrada street gang and it is believed they targeted Dasalla on the assumption that Dasalla was involved in the beating of the Guerrero brother's little brother.

Gabriel Guerrero was also ordered to pay restitution to the state Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board, as well as to Dasalla's parents in addition to his prison sentence.

Posted By Criminal Defense Editor

In Washington, the U.S. Marshals Service announced that it had finally captured 73 year old Paul Clouston, a convicted cop killer.  The arrest occurred on Tuesday and was a great victory for police as Clouston was one of America's 15 Most Wanted fugitives.

In 1972, Clouston murdered a police officer.  He also served time in jail for molesting young children in Williamsburg from 1991 to 2005.  After serving years in prison, Clouston was paroled, but failed to register as a sex offender.  Instead of working with police to resolve the issue, officers say he fled.

Clouston was finally arrested after the Richmond Division of the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force received a tip about the fugitive's whereabouts.  The caller also notified the TV show, America's Most Wanted.

The U.S. Marshals Service had wanted Clouston for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.  He was also wanted by Virginia State Police for failing to register as a sexual offender.

If you have been charged with serious crimes, like sex crimes or unlawful flight to avoid prosecution, you need to find a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible who will aid you in your defense.

This week, a 36 year old man by the name of Christopher Edward Taylor received a sentence of 40 year imprisonment for his sex crime charges.   Taylor was sentenced for a sexual assault that occurred in March 2009. 

According to reports, the victim had left an Edgewater restaurant after her shift was over.  While making her way to her vehicle, Taylor held her at gunpoint and forced his way into her car.  He then sexually assaulted the woman, forced her to drive him to an ATM and give him money.

In March, Taylor entered a plea for his first-degree sexual assault charge as well as handgun violation.  He admitted that he was guilty because prosecutors had enough evidence to convict him.  In exchange for his guilty plea, his other criminal charges were dropped.

Judge Paul A. Hackner said that Taylor must register as a sex offender and also serve five years of supervised probation once he is finished serving his sentence.
