Open Question: 1st Degree Buglary in MD-NEED HELP AND ADVICE PLEASE! DETAILS INSIDE.?
March 28, 2010 By Leave a Comment
My question involves criminal law for the state of: MARYLAND
Bare with me, i'm going to give as many details as possible so you can really get a feel for whats going on. Charges are listed at the bottom.
I want to thank anyone who helps me on this ahead of time, I've never bee thru anything like this and need all the help I can get. Thank you so much.
My boyfriend (19, 20 in May) and I have struggled for a long time with drugs, and recently (August 2009) got help, he went on the methadone program and I take subutex. Before we got help, we were typical drug addicts -- liars and schemers. 2 years ago (6.12.08) my boyfriend and friends went into (or broke?) into an abandon house - the owners died and NO ONE lived there. My boyfriend got some money in change (this man must have thought paper bills were going to go out of style b/c it was an insane amount of change to just have) and other friends got guns. People heard about it (just a few) and some went back serveral times (I guess this was like a "gold mine") usually in groups of 2 but my boyfriend only went ONCE. Me and my boyfriend used the money mostly for drugs and that was the end of it...we never heard about it again.
Until a person involved got arrested for having a gun, apparently it was a gun from the house. We heard about this but had no involvement and didn't even communicate with the friend anymore --this happend shortly after, within a month or two. And then he got caught apprx. a year later for the same thing ( I did a case search.) But even with this happening we heard nothing, no mention of his name or anyone else involved, so smooth sailing.
FLASH FORWARD TO 3.26.10 --- my boyfriend got kicked out of his house and went to sit on the steps of a nearby apartment, his brother went after him to sit with him and help him out. A lady came out said "hi" then called the cops, long story short he had a warrant, his brother did not. He had NO idea he had a warrant, mind you he goes to a GOVERNMENT RUN methadone clinic and has heard no mention of any warrants. The warrant was issued 2.17.10 and they had his correct address and tons of info where he could be (he gets government assistance w/ insurance & methadone.) So they take him to the holding jail, seven locks. He is somewhat sick from the rapid detox of methadone although they did give him some liquid valium yesterday to help (I think it could be considered cruel & unusual punishment to make someone suffer thru HORRIBLE methadone withdrawals simply b/c they are not life threatening, but thats whole nother can of worms.) His bail is set at $250,000- obviously something I can't afford.
Monday is his second meeting with the commisoner to see if they will release him. He DOES NOT have a private attorney and CANNOT afford one --- trust me I'm trying hard to get him one but the bottom line is his family or me cannot afford it. He has not been appointed a public defender yet, but his mother says he will before his next meeting (she's been thru this with her other son.) Will a public defender help his chances of getting out? I know a lawyer is better but theres no option. He has no previous adult record (a drug charge was exponged), has never missed court (except when we had a 30inch blizzard and courts were CLOSED), working towards his GED, had several leads on job interviews (literally the DAY he was arrested), is in active treatment for addiction, and this was an isolated incident -- he has never robbed anybody or any house other than this and been in no other kind of legal trouble.
I forgot to mention they questioned him and he admitted he went once and took some change (about $300) and other people took guns. THAT IS ALL HE SAID. I believe all of this is from word of mouth considering he has no items from the house, no items were taken other than guns and change (and he had the change.) There could be finger prints on guns because he touched them at a friends house who had them shortly after -- but I doubt it. I can't be certain but am still almost poistive there is no evidence and this is all word of mouth from a boy trying to avoid jail time. Apparently they talked to someone the guns were sold to but I have no other info on that.
Questions;
---I was wondering what the chances are of him getting released on his own word or of them lowering his bail?
---Will he get a public defender before his meeting?
---Can large bonds be financed (the 10%)??
---And what is the chance he will have to stay in jail?
---What would be an average jailtime for this crime given the circumstances?
---Is rehab an option?
---How does Pretrail services work?
(His brother had like 5 counts of 4th degree buglary and like 3 of 1st and other thefts, and got all time suspended, he was in jail about a year and then had to stay 7 months in rehab when he didn't even have a servere drug problem. So I'm somewhat hopeful.)
CHARGES AGANIST HIM
Charge No: 001Description:BURGLARY-FIRST DEGREE
It cut off that there is theft over $500 and consipracy on both. NO WEAPONS were used in breakin, this was an abandoned house. And again we CAN NOT afford a private lawyer. My real question is what is the chance of his bond getting lowered, or him getting released. As stated above, no prior felonies (marajuana charge expunged), in active treatment, always attends court, etc. The only thing aganist him is the nature of the crime. 4 people are going to the 2nd meeting w/ commisioner to confirm these statements - his brother, mother, & 2 people from the clinic who goes to. Are written letters & proof accepted during this meeting? Will this help any? I'm sorry for all the info, I've just never dealt w/ anything like this.
Voting Question: subutex or suboxone!?
March 28, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Hello, I have been on Suboxone for about a year and a half. 4 days ago my doctor put me on subutex because I was having really bad headaches and being very moody and I thought it was from the suboxone. plus he told me subutex was going to be cheaper! WRONG! I have been on subutex for 4 days now and i feel like shit! I don't know if it is just going to take some getting used to or what. But I am still having headaches and i am even more moody now because I woke up this morning feeling like I was in detox all over again! I dont know whats going on with my body. My doctor is awsome though and will let me switch back to suboxone if I want or I can stay on Subutex. I need to see if anyone has been on either of these medictions before so they can give me their input on who they felt. Thank you very much && Happy Recovering!
Resolved Question: What is the difference between suboxone and subutex? And will I get addiction to either one?

Resolved Question: Can I take my prescribed meds in jail?
March 21, 2010 By Leave a Comment
I missed a court date (while in treatment..huh) and my bond (200$ total) has been revoked (by the D.A) and probation violated. I have been taking Subutex for pain and Xanax for severe anxiety on and off for over 5 years. There are some serious side effects when I am denied these meds especially seizures and death from the Xanax. Does anyone know how situations are handled for this? I live in Tennessee.
Resolved Question: 17, kicked out.. My mum is making me choose family or my heroin addict boyfriend, advice asap?
March 21, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Okay so i'm 17 years old, live in the uk if that helps.
Been with my boyfriend for near enough a year now, (we did have a 3 month split though) i lived with him for 5 months until we split, this was due to the fact my mum and my family didn't like him because he is a heroin addict (don't judge please). He is on methadone. I thought the world of him, in the end it got to much with the trouble from my family we had to split.
Anyway we got back together and my mum told me i couldn't see him she would throw me out the house if i did.. anyway i felt so low i actually ended up takng crack and heroin with him (my own choice) my mum now knows about my drug use as i accidently injected and OD. I still smoke it (i am also getting help and getting subutex to get off it)
In the mean time my mum has thrown me out the house, i've had to go and move in with my dad (he doesn't want me there he asked my mum to take me back, she won't) he is never there always working or out drinking. I feel so alone, my mum is also on about banning me from coming and visiting her unless i get clean and stop seeing my boyfriend. She calls me fat, a druggie, junkie, smackhead ect...!! things like that don't help me..!! She also says horrible things about my boyfriend too.
I don't want to be living with my dad, he isn't there for me, it doesn't feel like home, and i just feel so alone, Yet when i visit my mum i get arguments and judgement. I can't win the only place im happy is with my boyfriend. I also have no other family i speak too apart from dad, mum, brother and they all think the same.
Thing is i can get clean and im going too but i can't leave my boyfriend i do love him and he has more or less stuck by me through everything and my family caused him alot of greif but he still wants to be with me.
My mum is also moving quite a while away very soon so i have no choose if im moving with her and not seeing my boyfriend again or stay here and loose her.
She has said i need to choose between him and her... i can't, i want my family and my boyfriend.. i can't choose, help???

Resolved Question: Does anyone else out there have an allergy to Naloxone?
March 13, 2010 By Leave a Comment
I was pregnant and on subutex due to the fact that it is safer and does not contain the component naloxone. Naloxone acts as an opioid inhibitor so one can not "use" while on suboxone. Naloxone is also unsafe during pregnancy. My doctor wants to switch me back to suboxone but when I was on it before I had awful problems with it. For starters It gave me severe skin infections on my face. I thought I had staph infection but it turned out if I layed off the suboxone my skin would clear. Subutex never did this to me. I have trouble keeping the suboxone under my tounge. The lemon lime flavor makes me nauseous if it doesn't make me vomit first. I have also had internal issues with this drug. It screws with my cycle and I can't go to the bathroom. I'm already on a slew of laxatives anyway, but they don't work at all if I take suboxone. I also feel like I am constantly in withdrawal, though it is mild, the sickness is still present.
I have explained all these things to my doctor and even gave suboxone a shot. (Not literally!) It was hell. I didn't break out but all the other symptoms came back. I was only on it for a week so it wasn't enough time to tell if I would get zombie skin. He switched me back temporarily until I see some internal medicine doctor who I know nothing about.
My tests in the past have all been clean and I've been a really good patient. I lived a very Rock n Roll life style before the birth of my son but he changed everything. I would not jeopardise his well being. It's so hard to get anyone to understand (especially doctors) that people change. When you are flagged as an addict you don't get treated like a human being anymore.
Honestly they got to know if it is bad for a baby It can't be great for an adult either. My doctor tells me he has never heard of such a thing as an allergic reaction to naloxone or even so much as an irritation. He thinks I'm making it up so I can shoot it or something (which frankly is something I've never done but you try telling them that). I wish he could make a decision for himself instead of sending me to the ends of the earth to see some other doctor. It's kind of weird to me.
