1 Answer | Asked in Criminal Law for Arkansas on Aug 28, 2015
Answered on Aug 28, 2015
Terrence H Thorgaard's answer
While the old adage, \"sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me\" is not true, the hurt which is associated with a verbal assault is normally emotional and not physical. A verbal assault is not, therefore, considered a crime. The police therefore would not be able to do anything about it.

Answered on Aug 25, 2015
Robert Jason De Groot's answer
That would undoubtedly be a trafficking charge, and could mean many years in prison, perhaps a few decades. If you are indigent you can probably qualify fot the public defender. This is just common knowledge and does not require an attorney. Since you have access to the internet you can do a search and find out all sorts of information about the law, even the statutes usually.

The answer to this question requires legal research. But he could be found guilty perhaps just because he was there, as long as all elements of the crime can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

Q: Refusal without DWI conviction ?
1 Answer | Asked in Criminal Law for Arkansas on Aug 15, 2015
Answered on Aug 18, 2015
Robert Jason De Groot's answer
This is most likely an administrative law question, not a criminal law question. It is also an employment law question. You were not conviced, you did not plead guilty or no contest to the charges against you, you were found not guilty. The answer would appear to be NO, assuming that it is completely true and there is nothing you have left out.
