Have you ever been in court or been mentioned in court?

My mom has paper declaring she had custody of me because she was a loving parent... she went to a judge and got that paper when I was a baby, lying and saying my father was gone and didt really care about me... also, a neighbor once caused my mother to have to go to court because she ws an "unfit mother" (not true, according to my parents.. he was a troublemaker). She won me anyway, but was orred to undergo counseing (which she never did)!

I went to court for 2nd degree assault because me and my neghboor (my age) got into a fist fight in front of all of his friends because he always had to pick on me in front of them and make me look like a looser whenever his friends were around, he was showing off at my expence, so i played along and started making fun of him, he could not take it, threw a punch in an attempt to maintain his 'street cred' and I won by pounding him, even knocking him uncounsious for a few seconds. That day I gained this so called 'street cred' but was arrested for it .

I went to court for possession of marijuana in collage, it cost me $180 and a 4 hr drive, then I was free and my slait was wiped clean

I went to court again when I lost my license and a host of other things that I did after I left collage, it would be the last time I ever got into trouble, after this I knew what I wanted in life, pulled myself outa my depression and not caring what I did or what happened to me, and realized what I wanted and became a better person, not hanging with the bad crowd but being my own man.

I went through alot over the years to become the person I am now at 25. I dont want anybody to think im a bad person, i think im a very decent, God fearing person, just had a hard time with people, or knowing the right things, or, for a while depression and not caring. I am a very different person years later then the time when these infractions occured.

One time when I went to court and was called to the defendant's stand, I sat down in the witness stand since that was my first time ever in a courtroom. I assume the court staff got quite a laugh out of that.

The only court case that I was a part of was a case pertaining to Overtime pay at work. This was a few months ago. I never went to court or stood on trail or anything like that but I did have a deposition and did dealt with a lawyer. I didn't file the suit but I was a part of it because there was a period of time that I worked over 35 hours a week and was not properly compensated.

They did settle and I (and the others involved) got a settlement.

Even though the process turned out to go okay, I wasn't very comfortable with the whole thing. I never really understood the legal stuff.

Yes. I've been to court for first degree murder, convicted, but when it came to sentencing after a one year trial, they couldn't convict me because the evidence was "accidentally" destroyed. And you can't prosecute the same person twice.

That was 2 years ago, when I was 15. I won't go over the details. Anyone else a convicted killer?

I'll plead the fifth on this.

Uhhh, no. Besides being given two parking tickets, the nearest I got to criminal proceedings was when I was caught doing the finger at cameras on rides at a local theme park. Never did it again.

However, on a whim during my days at QUT, I did go and drop in to a court in session that had public viewing. I stayed there for about 15 minutes before leaving, from boredom. I'd make a crap juror.

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

I was a juror once and went into municipal court twice to contest traffic tickets. Nothing exciting enough to be worthy.
