It Does Not Get More Serious than This!

A charge of first degree murder is not without defenses. Perhaps the police simply have the wrong person. It may also be argued that they committed the killing, but they were justified in doing so because of self-defense. A defendant may argue that they are not guilty of first degree murder because one or more of the elements of the crime was not met.

First degree murder is a VERY specific crime. These elements must be present –  

1. Another person must have been killed
2. There must be specific intent
3. The act was deliberate
4. It was done with premeditation

Is Judicial Release in your Loved One’s Future?

These days it is not so far-fetched. Maybe they have served long enough and are ready to move on. To apply for judicial release in the Buckeye State a motion must be filed. It is always better if you can go through a lawyer to file any motions with the criminal court in your particular jurisdiction in Ohio.

Here is one rule of thumb…those convicted of a crime that occurred in Ohio on or after June 30, 1996, may apply for judicial release if their prison sentence is for 10 years or less. Those serving sentences that include “mandatory time” may not be eligible for judicial release during the mandatory period.

Sometimes the only sin you may have committed is not calling Jon right away. That’s attorney Jon Sinn helping you gain judicial release for a family member. Just call (330) 431-0160.

Concealed Carry in Ohio.

Let’s start with the basics here in the Buckeye State.  Per state law, residents of Ohio who are 21 years of age or older can obtain a state concealed handgun license.  Carrying concealed weapons is a serious charge in this state and may result in severe, unforgiving penalties.  If convicted, this charge may permanently be on your criminal record.

If you or a loved one are currently facing a charge of carrying concealed weapons, especially in Northeast Ohio, did you not have a license to carry concealed weapons?  Perhaps you are accused of having engaged in particular prohibited acts while carrying a concealed weapon.  You might be facing criminal charges and potentially a conviction.

Is it serious?  Seriously!?  You know that it is and in this year of stress from invisible threats NO ONE in the state of Ohio should be wrongly convicted of a concealed weapon violation.  It’s true that sometimes the only sin you may have committed is not calling Jon right away.  That’s Akron criminal defense attorney Jon Sinn at (330) 431-0160.

A Conviction for this Crime Could Stick with you Forever.

Any felony conviction may carry with it a stigma that you cannot avoid through the rest of your life, but none may be worse than being convicted of a sex crime.  These days it may come in different forms such as harassment by a boss towards an employee, internet pornography, or even sexual assault itself.

Finger pointing may be the benchmark of the allegation, but facts are what leads to a conviction.  The outward opinions that those accused of a sex crime may face from casual friends and even loved ones are disconcerting enough.  Beyond that, lies the real-life concern of getting and keeping a job and even where you are able to live!
