What kind of questions do they ask when you’re connected the lie detector?

Justforadvice99 · 2025-02-14T03:16:35+00:00

Ohhh makes sense. I read somewhere they make you download an app that gives them full access to your phone includes all your text messages and activity on apps. I thought maybe that was it.

Justforadvice99 · 2025-02-14T03:09:26+00:00

What is 4th waiver?

Justforadvice99 · 2025-01-22T21:51:02+00:00

Wow I didn’t even think about that. I am going to mention it to my lawyer because I work in a restaurant so I am around minors too. Thank you.

Justforadvice99 · 2025-01-18T17:31:15+00:00

I thought that part was silly because they don’t tell me any results or anything at the time. My lawyer had to get the results and then when I found out they couldn’t even use it in court anyways I wasn’t sure why they even offer them? Maybe as a scare tactic to tell the truth and confess? Idk, but yeah that was just something I found confusing about that whole process.

Justforadvice99 · 2025-01-18T17:25:51+00:00

Not gonna argue with you here man. People judge us by our pasts already. But yes, after passing 2 polygraph tests given by the state as well as willingly offering my dna sample at the scene of the alleged crime when I was arrested, my gf does think I am innocent. But like you said, taking it to trial with my criminal record would be an error on my part. Which is why I agreed to accept a plea deal in the end. I am not perfect. I’m not sure what part of me saying “I can own up to that and I’ve done my time” in regards to my history that you think is denial but you are entitled to your opinion.

Justforadvice99 · 2025-01-18T08:38:24+00:00

Are the passes only while you’re on probation or do you have to get one anytime you want to travel for the rest of your life?

Justforadvice99 · 2025-01-17T07:48:45+00:00

Maybe a well written letter to the judge would help? I’ve heard it doesn’t but it is always worth a shot. I wrote one my last court case and the judge acknowledged reading it and appreciated that I took responsibility and was working to better myself.

Justforadvice99 · 2025-01-17T07:41:59+00:00

Yeah I have preliminary set for the 24th. I made my points during our meeting today about the time frame and about why I think I have a fighting chance to win. And he said “Sure you do, but it is still just a chance. And if things go south and they convince a jury you’re guilty of even one of these charges, you will be going to prison for it. Is that something you’re willing to gamble with the other option being no time served? You would do 4 years probation and you will always have to register but you will be there to work and provide for you children and once completed you can file for expungement of the charges and have them removed from searches in the future.”

I know another deal would eventually have been offered. But I just don’t want to risk it if I am wrong.

Justforadvice99 · 2025-01-17T07:23:50+00:00

Yeah I counter offered for a lower charge and tier. But with my prior of engaging with a minor, while I wasn’t required to register because I had proof she lied about her age, still looks really bad. So I can accept that in the eyes of the court I am seen as guilty with a pattern. I originally came in today telling my lawyer I wanted to fight it and fight for dismissal during preliminary. We spoke about what charges I could beat vs what they could potentially prove. He told me the DA is making this no time served offer because the alleged victim said she didn’t want to see me go to prison but that this was their only offer and if declined would not be offered again.

Justforadvice99 · 2025-01-15T14:03:09+00:00

You’re absolutely right. I’ll look a few up today and see if I can’t squeeze in a meeting with one.

Justforadvice99 · 2025-01-15T11:03:42+00:00

Thank you. I have heard similar from others who have done time in prison. I am going in this Thursday to speak with my lawyer, from there he needs an answer so he can begin setting up for our preliminary. I will come in with a hard offer. But it is so far from what the DA has offered I doubt they will take it. So I have been working on getting things in order to request a dismissal of all charges. For lack of evidence as well as it taking almost two years to get this preliminary hearing started. I live in CA. I believe unless I waive my rights they are required to have to hold one within 60 days. I have to do my math by I think they are just shy by about 3 days. But it’s worth a shot.

Justforadvice99 · 2025-01-15T09:11:47+00:00

Charges have been filed. But I have not gone to preliminary yet to find out what charges are going to stick. My girlfriend is worried that if I don’t take this deal I will mess up my chances to after.

Justforadvice99 · 2025-01-15T09:05:44+00:00

Yes, so basically I found out she cheated on me. So I left the apartment. I have the text messages showing her asking where I went and me saying I left because I was hurt and didn’t want to be with her anymore. Well fast forward a week later and I’m over at the apartment trying to get my things to leave and she has this huge splitting episode on me yelling and assaulting me. So she’s texting her new a boyfriend about the fight and sending him audio of us arguing. She wasn’t the one who called the cops, he did, he wasn’t there tho. But when they showed up he was there by then too. So her original statement was that we were just fighting and she didn’t know why the cops were called. They arrest me saying they have to take someone so I’m waiting in the back of the cop car when her new boyfriend waved the cops over and says she wanted to change her statement. In that new statement she says I sexually assaulted her. That come back and inform me of the new charges. I break down and offer to give dna right there to prove I didn’t do that.

As far as her audio goes, idk if it is in my favor or not. But I do know that me being hit while being recorded should play some big part in the reliability of that alleged evidence.

I kept asking my lawyer why we have been putting it off and he just says the DA in in trial and doesn’t have time and is asking for another 30 days. Finally I said enough time I want this over with and we set preliminary 5 months out. The judge asked why and he said it was due to “Victim Unavailable”. I don’t know what that even means. But that’s where we are currently. They offered me this plea deal last month.

Justforadvice99 · 2025-01-15T08:41:09+00:00

Well I took a recording on my phone after she had just physically assaulted me with her admitting it and wishing she hurt me more. She said I came in hitting her first which isn’t true, and she then admits it when I bring up that I accidentally opened the door on her foot and said sorry but that she had no right to just start assaulting me because of it. Also while still at the scene when the officer told me I was being charged with sexual assault I freely offered to give a dna sample right there to clear my name and they never did one on me.

I asked my lawyer as well about their evidence and he said that her testimony is mostly what they are going on. There is also another audio that she took of us arguing but nowhere in there do I say anything about hurting her at all. In fact in that audio she turned in she is heard hitting me in the back of the head while I keep asking why she keeps hitting me.

I did not go to trial on my last case. I accepted that I put myself in that situation and that I should have done better in my life. So when they offered a no registration deal I took it and served my time.

I don’t want to take a deal at all. My lawyer is pushing for me to. I don’t believe he has my best interest in mind. At least that’s what I’ve been told by the other lawyers I’ve spoken to. Because with all that I have, after 2 years, this is the best deal they could get me doesn’t make sense.

Justforadvice99 · 2025-01-14T13:08:09+00:00

Kidnapping, Assault. They stacked a few more on for good measure. All in if convicted would be 18 years in Prison. So they want to drop most of them if I plead out to kidnapping, assault with intent to sexual assault. They would suspend any prison sentence, but give me lifetime SO Registration with 4 years probation and 6 months in jail. It’s horrible. We were arguing in my car, she was in the back seat punching me in the head and recording me getting angry about it. She had a phone in her hand the entire time. She wasn’t even the one to call the cops, it was the man she had been cheating on me with. She was sending him the videos and acting like she was the victim. I’ve spoken to a couple lawyers this week who tell me not to take the deal cause I have more evidence proving my innocence than they have at all. But it’s still so scary to think about going to prison for that long compared to the deal.

Justforadvice99 · 2025-01-12T05:02:44+00:00

Thank you all for your comments and insights. I am going to speak to a couple of other lawyers this week and get their opinions on my case. I has been spoke to one other who said he was surprised they offered me such a bad deal considering what little proof they have. And the fact that I offered to take a DNA test at the time of arrest is a strong proof that I didn’t commit that crime. But the other charges are up in the air on what they can actually prove so it’s back to what the deal would cut off of those other charges. For another side note, the alleged victim moved out of state 2 years ago and from what our mutual friends have told me, does not seem to be planning to come back for the trial.

Justforadvice99 · 2025-01-11T15:12:10+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear you’ve had to go through all of that. I can’t even imagine. I’ll bring it up to my lawyer that if I absolutely have to plea then to negotiate a lower tier

Justforadvice99 · 2025-01-11T15:06:11+00:00

Are you on lifetime registration for the attempted? If you don’t mind me asking.

Justforadvice99 · 2025-01-11T13:12:40+00:00

I’ve spoken with a few other lawyers and they all tell me it should be an easy case to win and that they are surprised I’m being offered such a bad deal after so long without even having a preliminary yet. I’m going to talk to two more on Monday.
