I am on work visa and am thinking of traveling to Costa Rica. The trip is non-refundable and I could seriously use a break.
I was recently arrested for family violence misdemeanor A in Texas but thankfully DA decided to drop the charges. So, no court case was filed. I am wondering if I will have any issues in re-entering the US. I don't have any past criminal history. I have Decline to Prosecute document from DA that does not mention any reason of dropping the charges.
Is it too risky to travel right now? Could the officers at the airport decide to deport me? Do I need to carry anything else if I decide to go?

I will soon be convicted of a second dwi in TX. My court date is next week to accept a plea. For those of you in Texas, what was the length of your probation? Also, were you able to travel to other countries?

Hey y’all! So I am waiting to hear back on a background check. This same company did my background check previously and nothing ever came up. Granted my charge was just working its way through the system then. My charge was reduced to obstruction of highway and plead to non adjudication which I read means a non-conviction. It doesn’t come up on my driving record and only comes up when searching a certain counties misdemeanor court document system. The arrest still shows up as a DWI if you really look through the docket. I submitted all info for my background check on Monday and will hopefully be hearing back tomorrow. My question here, if this hasn’t came up before will it come up now? Can a job be rescinded even if I was never convicted? Anyone from Texas hear ever been in my shoes? How do I reach out to my future employer about when my background check results come back ?

I haven’t interacted with anyone on this sub the whole time i’ve been actively engaged in it. I used it as a resource to prepare myself for life after the fact. For all the possibilities of what i might face. I finally wanted to speak up and share the outcome for my first and only DWI/Arrest, as I was sentenced Thursday. Arrested 08/23.
BAC .24 Pedestrian accident (found partially at fault) Charged and plead guilt DWI FIRST BAC >.15 CLASS A MISDEMEANOR
I reached a deal with the State’s prosecutor for 13 month’s probation. 2 victim impact panels, a DWI class, 20hours community service, random UA, and Interlock for half the probation term if no violations (have already has SmartStart installed since week after the arrest)
I am immensely grateful for the outcome in this situation. I was able to keep my license from being suspended by maintaining my interlock and honestly just luck being on my side in this situation. I’ve come to terms with the fact that with the circumstances of what happened that night, i need to be grateful every day. Nobody lost a life. I am sober. I got married while out on bond, and got my first ever place of my own. I am so fucking grateful and it will always get better if you WANT it to be better. Thank you all for supporting me without even knowing it. God speed

My sister got a DWI in San Antonio Tx in 2003, she never went back to court, she moved to another country and now her husband who is an american citizen is in the process of getting her green card, she's moving back to San Antonio within 3 months, according to her immigration lawyer since her husband and daughter are citizens she has the right to live in the US regardless of the DWI, but I think she missed to tell her that she will have to take care of that DWI and probably will get arrested, am I right or I'm just being exaggerated?

Hello everyone. This is my first offense in Texas for a dwi deferred misdemeanor b. I just started probation with an interlock and what should I expect? Scheduled monthly visits,random work/home visits, early release options. My PO didn’t explain everything to me and I wanted to get any additional info that could help me. Tia!

I was popped for misdemeanor B DUI in January. Other than the initial test the next day, my color has been called once in over 4 months. I have no travel restrictions and my PO told me I could go out of town for work and if my color gets called while I’m away she would text me and I could come test when I return. I’ve left town for work twice. This definitely can provide a false sense of security but I’m trying to be strong and not drink. (I don’t use any drugs). I’m in Texas by the way. My lawyer got my first pretrial appearance pushed to June and said the next one would be a reset as well. I’m 48 and sucks I can’t really enjoy an evening of drinks while home. (I have not been scheduled for interlock yet either). I feel this is all too lenient based on what I’ve read here but definitely have too much going for me to fuck up before first real appearance. Trying to hang in there!

Top of the (insert time relative to you here) Had a good dude get a DWI while he was out and about on leave, no accident/injuries/damage. Arrested while home in Texas, he self reported to me immediately so the CoC knows. He’s done some great work, easily one of the best guys I’ve had. I get that people fall down, I want to make sure they get back up. Who has dealt with a situation like this? He’s already facing state persecution and will be getting enrolled in DAPA upon his return, so I don’t believe NJP is super likely. Anybody know what kind of process we can look forward to so I make sure he’s got what he needs? Thanks in advance.

I am so aggravated and exhausted! The last 10 months I’ve been working on joining the Marine Corps, I’ve had so many obstacles in my way. Between paperwork, escaping my abusive family and an abusive relationship, being homeless, working two jobs, studying for the Marine Corps, trying out college, keeping up with therapy, at certain points I didn’t even have the resources to eat everyday and had to sell damn near everything I had left right down to my clothes and shoes just for gas money to get to work… the saddest part is all the friends I thought I had turning their back on me when I needed help. The same friends I’d helped in the past, the same ones I’d had for up to a decade; wouldn’t even let me sleep on their floor for a night when I was homeless. I didn’t even qualify for any resources according to two social workers. No local apartment would rent to me because of a misdemeanor DWI that went under property damage nearly half a decade ago (yet somehow it wouldn’t keep me from getting a security clearance in the USMC…??? Dumb). Homeless shelters were either full or wouldn’t call back. Luckily I had a friend who moved halfway across the country a few years ago who’s letting me stay with them now. I had finally, after dozens of applications found a job, worked it one week before my car broke down and my client died (I was an inhome caregiver). My job just made me resign due to my car issues so I’ve been applying to jobs within walking/biking distance. I’ll have half a pay check which will barely get me a flight back to the Marine recruiting office I’m shipping out of (I adore those guys cause they helped me anyway I could when I was homeless so I refuse to switch offices) and now I will be homeless the 2 weeks I’ll be back there come June. I reconnected with one family member who offered to help for 1-2 nights, she’s wishy washy and likely won’t help now. I had two friends left who I thought I could count on, one got drunk cussed me out and block me. The other made an excuse about not having an extra room and ghosted me… worst comes to worst, I asked my recruiter if I could sleep behind the office for a couple weeks, but this last almost year has been so exhausting. I just spent 6 months of it homeless, just to be homeless for a couple more weeks when I go back there soon. At the end of the day, I’ll do it for a better life which for me is the Marine Corps, but damn does it get lonely at times. It feels like I’m never doing enough…

I’m not on probation fyi and I am located in Texas if that helps. I have a warrant for a misdemeanor possession of cannabis.

Hello Reddit Lawyers!
I know someone who has a pretty sketch legal history with firearms and alcoholism. So far, his arrests have only been misdemeanors, but have racked up several of them over the past decade. I believe the person is on his 4th DUI and supposed to be on SCRAM monitoring and probation til 2028. Typical sentencing stuff of completing rehab and such. The thing is that this person is suddenly moving halfway across the country to Texas and I just seriously question of the legality of all this. I know you're supposed to get permission to leave/move out of the state. I looked up his court records to see any mention of it. Nothing, but maybe that's not published?
Anyways, this dude is leaving with the help of his family. Has multiple DUI's. No job with no high school diploma/GED. Under CPS investigation. On probabation. He's a father with children. So you can see why I and others are skeptical of his ability to even leave and support himself and his family, especially considering the background. Is this guy fucked? Should I call his probabation officer? I just don't know what to do. Call Texas? Will Texas even do anything if they arrest him? Can this guy even get a job in Texas?
TLDR: Sketchy alcoholic father on misdemeanor probabation is fleeing California to Texas and we are worried about the legal consequences of his actions.

What are the steps or possible steps?
It’s a speeding ticket for 10% or more. Speed limit was 80mph Alleged was 96mph
Court is saying I only have to send a money order in the mail for it.
When I ask for a form of some sort I get no response.
This is in a little town btw.

I'll be graduating from college this month and have accepted a job with a defense contractor that requires me to have a secret clearance. I have two DWI's, one from 11 years ago and one from 8 years ago. I have no felonies on my record but a bunch of misdemeanors. I was addicted to drugs for a while before I got clean and sober and went back to school. My most recent arrest was around 4-5 years ago. The charges were dropped and the case was sealed. There were a couple other arrests and I'm not sure when exactly they happened. I think they were probably around 7 years ago, and the charges were all dropped after I completed rehab.
I was completely honest on my sf-86 form, and I am worried that my security clearance may be denied. I have another job offer and I am afraid that if I tell them no, then my clearance will be denied, and I would have burned a bridge. I am also worried the job with the defense contractor will let me start before I am grated clearance and my clearance will be denied later down the road, and they will have to let me go. My start date is supposed to be in June with the defense contractor. The other company told me they will be sending me an offer letter in the next 5-7 days. I am going to accept the other job offer and then quit if I hear my clearance goes through, but I'm afraid of the defense contractor telling me I can start before I am cleared.

So, I just received a call from my District Attorney's office today and they have explained to me that apparently, in my county, all DWI Pre-Trial Diversion participants sign a waiver stating that in the event we successfully complete PTD and are granted an expunction when possible, the District Attorney's office is exempt from the expunction order. Not only do they keep ALL records regarding the dismissed arrest/case but, it is used for enhancement in the event a second arrest/case is made. I'm literally just at a loss for words.. Of course this is a situation that I should not have been in, in the first place but, wow man. That just makes my current situation that much worse. I'll be talking to a few more lawyers and hopefully retaining one soon but, man. DWI 2 in Texas. I don't even know what to do or expect at this point.

//
There was a bit of an intro on Part 1 which covered the Quarterbacks, so look back through my profile and onto that ranking list for some thoughts on early rankings. Aside from what I’ve mentioned before, the last few years I have been a bit less definitive making rankings this early in the season. For Dynasty, that is the right way to do it. That said, as I continue to make content, I know there are Devy leagues out there, so I try to make stronger rankings based on frankly just what I would do in my own leagues. This makes the early lists a bit more controversial than I used to like, such as with a certain RB on this list who I’m much lower on than the consensus, but if people are going to even theoretically use these lists for Devy, I don’t want to hold back what I truly think.
RB is a position that is probably going to have more NIL issues compared to other positions, but the intrigue of any prospect class is not one or two top players but the depth of potential high level talent. This RB class has a very deep pool of potential high level talent. While I have named at least 15 names here, there are even more out there than these 15.
From a scouting perspective, RB is also a comparatively more traits driven position. For my lists, this means that the highest rated tiers showcase the highest upside even if some of the results for these players have been mixed. If they only have mixed results, that will be a significant issue. Should these players have good seasons, their traits will very likely lead them to be my highest graded RBs.
//
Tier 1
TreVeyon Henderson, Ohio State Quinshon Judkins, Ohio State via Ole Miss Nicholas Singleton, Penn State
Nicholas Singleton is one of the toughest RBs to grade for the 2025 class. An elite HS prospect who showcased top-end explosive ability as a true freshman, Singleton regressed statistically and often gets out-worked by his teammate listed below. All that said, Singleton has the highest upside at the position, and is the most likely to threaten even the NFL first round with a great season. It was a surprise to quite a few people when Ohio State added Quinshon Judkins to a backfield that already included returning senior TreVeyon Henderson. Judkins has probably been the most successful RB in CFB the last two years combined, running for over 2,700 yards and 30 TDs in the SEC. Physically he may be the least naturally gifted of T1, but he’s easily the best running back between the tackles and definitely has Day 2 traits at the very least. It is also worth noting that there are rumors of an unfriendly parting with Ole Miss. Henderson, like Singleton, was considered an elite HS prospect and has flashed signs of a fringe Day 1 RB, but at the very least Henderson has had some durability issues, and his physical running can be hit and miss. Still, Henderson has elite upside and big play potential on all three downs.
Tier 2
Ashton Jeanty, Boise State Trevor Etienne, Georgia via Florida Damien Martinez, Miami (FL) via Oregon State Devin Neal, Kansas
Generally I hesitate to support undersized RBs from minor conferences, but I just love Ashton Jeanty. In the last four classes, the best two pass catching backs I’ve evaluated are Jahmyr Gibbs and Jeanty. Trevor Etienne and Damien Martinez have two things in common: they both transferred, and they both got an off-season DUI/DWI. That said, these are young players who are well positioned to make an impact on bigger stages. Etienne is a different RB than his older brother with a thick base and low center of gravity. Martinez is my favorite true power back (~230) and my post-sophomore year grade for Martinez is much higher than it was for Braelon Allen or is for Ollie Gordon II (below). Devin Neal from Kansas is an explosive runner who shows shades of 2024 rookie Jaylen Wright. Maybe he’s not quite that explosive, but he’s also a more seasoned rusher with huge performances in major wins for Kansas.
Honorable Discussion: Ollie Gordon II, Oklahoma St.
Ollie Gordon II is as high as a Tier 1 RB for many, and there are good reasons why. As a true Sophomore, Gordon had 2,000+ Total Yards and 20+ TDs. But RB is a traits driven position, and I’m questioning the traits a bit with Gordon particularly the first step quickness and explosive burst. Statistically, Gordon dominated with efficiency and volume overall, but there are some critiques to be made against tougher performances. Gordon had 550 Rushing Yards (and 6 TDs) in just 2 Gs against Cincy and WVU and did so on 54 carries (10.2 YPA). Against Texas and UCF, Gordon was well bottled up (25 Carries for 59 Yards) and several more performances against teams like Oklahoma, BYU, and A&M were certainly solid, but largely the result of pure volume (31.3 Carries/G, 422 Yards, 4.5 YPC). I’m not out on Gordon, but the traits align more with a pick in the 75-100+ range for me than an earlier Day 2 pick, and so I am significantly fading Gordon compared to where I see the early market. To be very clear, I used the word discussion because Gordon is not my RB8 but in the next tier of RBs.
Mentions: Kaytron Allen (Penn State), Donovan Edwards (Michigan), DJ Giddens (Kansas State), Omarion Hampton (North Carolina), Jordan James (Oregon), Raheim Sanders (South Carolina via Arkansas), and Gavin Sawchuk (Oklahoma)
Kaytron Allen has NFL traits and has been a more consistent back than Singleton, even if the traits aren’t at the very highest level. Gibbs and Jeanty are in their own tier, but Edwards has excellent downfield receiving ability as well. Giddens has excellent size and a bit of open field wiggle. Hampton runs stiff but is productive, explosive, and NFL sized. James has only had a limited sample, but PFF in particular loves the work James has done in that short sample; he has better size and more NFL traits than his Oregon predecessor Bucky Irving. Rocket Sanders had a disappointing 2023 season and is becoming an older RB prospect at this point, but still has size and flashes 3-down versatility. Gavin Sawchuk is a bit undersized, but has elite long speed and started breaking out at the end of 2023.
There are plenty more RBs to consider, and so feel free to mention those in the comments as well.
//
That’s all I have for today. 2025 WRs and TEs will be out soon, but I will likely be reverting back to 2024 for the next couple posts, moving onto Part 2 of my current 2024 piece, breaking down each RB Room around the NFL starting with the AFC and then the NFC.
Thanks,
C.J.

Hi, I'm in Texas and will soon be convicted of a second DWI. For those of you who have had a second in Texas, what was the length of your probation? Has anyone gotten 12 or 18 months in Texas? TIA!

Here is my list for Missouri's post Furman execution roster that I wrote for my personal death penalty project. I'll probably release Florida next, and I'm currently working on completing my list for Texas.
As always, the dates given are a time frame of the offender's earliest known criminal activities to their execution. Many of cases described here are extremely depraved in nature, so please read at your own risk. Missouri has also scheduled David Hosier for execution on June 11, and is filling death warrants for Christopher Collings and Marcellus Williams. If these future executions are carried out as planned, then I might update this post with their information.
Due to it exceeding the character count limitations that reddit allows for submissions, I had to divide this list into two separate posts. For the link to part 2, please click here.
The currently executed 98 offenders, cases 1 to 49:
1. George Mercer (~1960s-1989, lethal injection): Mercer was the president of the Missing Links MC motorcycle gang, a title he inherited after his predecessor was killed in a bar fight. Under his leadership, the gang involved itself heavily with organized crime, and had a well earned reputation for extreme violence. The gang harassed and assaulted what they deemed to be "political undesirables" such as left leaning hippies and prohibitionists, and terrorized those aligned with rival motorcycle gangs. They were also predatory towards teenage girls and young women. In one incident, Mercer beat a Vietnam veteran unconscious when the man tried to stop him from sexually harassing underaged girls at a concert, and gang-raped a kidnapped 17 year old girl with some associates in another. One of his followers lured Karen Keeton, a 22 year old tavern waitress, to Mercer's home as a "birthday present" for him. Mercer raped Keeton in his bedroom, and manually strangled her to death. Mercer and his gang members were also speculated to be involved in the murder of 15 year old David Eyman by some webslueths due to his ties with them, but credible evidence is currently lacking.
2. Gerald Smith (1983-1990, lethal injection): Smith beat his girlfriend, 22 year old Karen Roberts, to death with a metal pipe out of fear of her having a venereal disease. While awaiting execution, he stabbed a few death row inmate, 35 year old Robert Baker, with the help of another death row inmate, Frank Guinan. Baker was originally sentenced to death when he shot and killed a detective in a robbery.
3. Winford Stokes (~1969-1990, lethal injection): In 1969, Stokes and his accomplices shot and killed 60 year old Ignatius DiManuele while robbing his tavern. The trio were arrested weeks after the murder. During the trial, they made an escape attempt, but were all recaptured. Stokes was released from prison in 1977, and assaulted a 71 year old man with a claw hammer during a burglary a month later. He fatally shot 73 year old Marie Montgomery and stole her watch in one home invasion, and strangled and stabbed 33 year old Pamela Benda to death in another. Stokes seized Benda's jewelry after rummaging through her drawers.
4. Leonard Laws (1980-1990, lethal injection): Laws and his girlfriend's brothers (one of which was George Gilmore) decided to that the easiest way to earn money for their families was to rob and murder the elderly. He acted as a lookout while the Gilmore murdered and robbed the victims. They were responsible for a total of 5 killings.
5. George Gilmore (1980-1990, lethal injection): Gilmore, his brother, and their sister's boyfriend, the above mentioned Leonard Laws, targeted the elderly in a string of robberies. Their victims, 83 year old Elizabeth Roderique, 83 year old Mary Watters, 65 year old Woodrow Elliott, 83 year old Clarence Williams, and his 81 year old wife Lottie, were shot, stabbed, or strangled to death. After the gang sacked everything of value, they lit the homes on fire. The trio were also suspected in the strangulation murder of 75 year old Edna Winter, but the prosecution weren't able to convict them of it in court.
6. Maurice Byrd (1980-1991, lethal injection): Byrd stormed the Pope’s Cafeteria, a restaurant in a Des Peres mall, and shot 4 employees dead. He stole a total of $9,000 in the robbery. The victims include the manager, 51 year old James Woods, and cooks, 68 year old Edna Ince, and 51 year old Carolyn Turner, and 37 year old Judy Cazaco.
7. Ricky Grubbs (1984-1991, lethal injection): Grubbs and his brother tied 46 year old Jerry Thornton up with neck ties, and stabbed him to death in his trailer. The brothers stole an undisclosed amount of money and food stamps, and burned down the trailer to destroy any evidence of their crime.
8. Martsay Bolder (1973-1993, lethal injection): In 1973, a then teenage Bolder shot and killed 69 year old Louis Donovan in a robbery, and given a life sentence for it. While incarcerated, Bolder feuded with a fellow inmate, 24 year old Theron King. He stabbed King to death for allegedly yelling sexual obscenities at him, and received a death sentence for the killing. King was serving a life sentence for robbery at the time of his murder.
9. Walter Blair Jr. (~1979-1993, lethal injection): Blair allegedly shot and killed 16 year old Sandy Shannon in a robbery, but he wasn't convicted due to the apparent witnesses refusing to testify at the trail. After Blair was cleared of Shannon's murder, he was hired to kill 21 year old Katherine Allen by a man she accused of rape. Blair kidnapped Allen from her apartment, robbed her boyfriend, and shot her to death. His case received notoriety due to the number of his family members that were also convicted for unrelated high profile crimes. One of Blair’s brothers, Terry, was a serial killer that raped and murdered a minimum of 7 sex workers. Another brother, Clifford, abducted and sodomized a woman during a robbery. His sister Warnetta and her husband killed a man together in a robbery and murdered her boyfriend for trying to cut off her drug supply. One of her sons, Nolla IV, later murdered her husband as well. Two more of Warnetta’s, sons, Diamond and William had several robbery convictions. Last but not least, Blair’s mother Janice shot her children's stepfather to death during an argument.
10. Frederick Lashley (1981-1993, lethal injection): Lashley fatally stabbed his foster mother, 55 year old Janie Tracy, during an ambush in their home and stole $15 from her. Tracey had been raising Lashley since he was 2 years old, and had several infirmities, including heart diseases, diabetes and a neuromuscular disorder, at the time of her death.
11. Frank Guinan (~1964-1993, lethal injection): While serving a 40 year sentence for armed robbery, Guinan and another inmate, Richard Zeitvogel, stabbed a fellow prisoner, 30 year old John McBroom (who was incarcerated for drug dealing), to death. Gunian received the death penalty for Pugh's murder. On death row, Gunian assisted the previously mentioned Gerald Smith in the killing of Robert Baker. Guinan had a troubled youth, and was involved with several burglaries and a high speed car chase with police. He had also gotten into several fights with other inmates, and badly injured his cellmate, 38 year old Thomas Pugh (who was also serving a prison sentence for robbery), in one of his incidents.
12. Emmitt Foster (1983-1995, lethal injection): Foster and his accomplice forced themselves into the house that their acquaintance, 26 year old Travis Walker, shared with his girlfriend at gunpoint. The pair shot the couple, killing Walker and injuring his girlfriend. She survived by playing dead. They then sacked the home of any valuables and left. After Foster and his accomplice departed from the scene, Walker's girlfriend wrote down the attackers' names and ran out of the home for help.
13. Larry Griffin (1980-1995, lethal injection): According to prosecutors, Griffin shot and killed 19 year old Quinton Moss while was dealing drugs in a drive by shooting. As Moss was allegedly involved in the murder of Griffin's brother, the investigators believed that it was a revenge killing. His death sentence and execution was controversial, as Griffin's supporters and attorneys alleged that police misconduct occurred during the investigation. However, a posthumous review of his case in 2005 concluded Griffin's guilt.
14. Robert Murray (1985-1995, lethal injection): Murray and his brother held up two men, 27 year old Jeffrey Jackson and 26 year old Craig Stewart, and two women at gunpoint in an apartment. The brothers tied all four of them up, and raped both of the women. They extorted an undisclosed amount of money from their hostages with beatings and shot Stewart and Jackson in the head. The female captives on the other hand managed to jump out of windows to safety.
15. Robert Sidebottom (1985-1995, lethal injection): Sidebottom was upset by how little inheritance that his grandmother, 74 year old May, gave him and decided to grab more money by force in the form of collecting a life insurance policy from her. He broke into May's home and beat her unconscious with chair. As she was incapacitated from the beating, Sidebottom set the house on fire. Although the firefighters were able to put out the flames before she was seriously harmed by them, May died of the injuries she received in the assault.
16. Anthony LaRette (1976-1995, lethal injection): LaRette raped and murdered a minimum of 16 women between the ages of 18-60, but he might have been responsible for a total of 31 murders. All of his known victims were killed in stabbing attacks in their own homes and apartments. While awaiting trial, LaRette was also convicted of conspiring to murder a county jail guard with his father.
17. Robert O'Neal (1979-1995, lethal injection): O'Neal and an accomplice broke into a house that was owned by a prominent doctor, and encountered Ralph Sharick, the homeowner's 78 year old father in law. The pair bound Sharick, locked him in a closet, and shot him to death. They stole several musical instruments and guns in the robbery. O'Neal was captured a few days later and given a life sentence for the murder. During his time in prison, he joined the Aryan Brotherhood, and fatally stabbed a black inmate, 33 year old Arthur Dade, on the behalf on the local leadership. The motives for Dade's killing vary greatly on the source. Some claimed that he was murdered out of racism, while others asserted that it was over a drug trafficking related dispute.
18. Jeffrey Sloan (1985-1996, lethal injection): Sloan entered the bedroom of his parents, 41 year old Paul and 38 year old Judith, and shot them to death while they were in bed. He turned his attention towards his brothers, 18 year old Timothy and 9 year old Jason, and shot them dead in their rooms as well.
19. Doyle Williams (~1967-1996, lethal injection): In 1980, Williams and his partner shot and stabbed A. H. Domann, a 68 year old physician, while breaking into his office, and stole several prescription drugs. His partner's roommate, 28 year old Kerry Bummett, found the stolen drugs baring Domann's name, and the pair abducted her to eliminate a loose end. She was bound with handcuffs that Williams borrowed from a friend in the police force, taken to the Missouri river, and pistol whipped. Bummett jumped into the river in an attempt to escape, but ended up drowning in the process. William had several previous convictions for stealing cars and boats.
20. Emmett Nave (~1958-1996, lethal injection): In 1983, Nave shot his landlady, 53 year old Geneva Roling, dead after he knocked on her door. He then abducted his wife and forced her to drive him to a hospital. On arrival, Nave took 6 nurses hostage, and forced them to inject Demoral and Valium into his body. The kidnapped nurses were then taken to a house and raped. Most of them managed to escape, but Nave forced the remaining captive to administer more Demoral and Valium into him. Nave went unconscious from an overdose and was hospitalized after he was apprehended. He had a criminal record dating back to 1958, and many of his previous arrests include armed robbery, burglary, sexual assault, soliciting prostitutes, and joyriding.
21. Thomas Battle (~1979-1996, lethal injection): Battle and his brother-in-law's brother invaded the home of 80 year old Birdie Johnson and raped her. She was beaten and stabbed to death with a butcher knife. A year before Johnson's murder, Battle was fined for filing a false police report.
22. Richard Oxford (~1968-1996, lethal injection): Oxford and his cellmate escaped from the Conner Correctional Center in 1986, and kidnapped a married couple, 63 year old Harold and 57 year old Melba Wample, from their farm. The Wamples were missing for two months until the discovery of their bodies in a motel parking lot. Both of them had been bound and shot in the head. At the time of his escape and the murders, Oxford was serving a 85 year sentence for a rape and robbery spree, and had several previous convictions of burglary and theft that started when he was 11 years old.
23. Richard Zeitvogel (~1974-1996, lethal injection): While serving a combined total of 20 years in prison for rape and armed robbery, Zeitvogel assisted the above mentioned Guinan in killing John McBroom. He was given a life sentence for his part in the murder. A few years later, he fatally strangled his cellmate, 24 year old Gary Dew (who was also convicted of armed robbery), in their cell and was given the death penalty for it. Allegedly, Guinan and Zeitvogel were in a sexual relationship, and prosecutors believed that he murdered Dew to be placed on death row in a bid to be reunited with him.

Hello friends. Previous post is on my profile, forgive me, I have no idea how to link it. Long story short, I’ve been told to get a drug and alcohol evaluation because of 20+ year old misdemeanor DWI’s otherwise the judge “will not even consider” my application.
So, some things have happened since my last post. Nothing positive. I sought a second opinion. Urine analysis was negative for drugs and alcohol again. They still recommended treatment because of my DWIs from high school, and that I was honest and told them I still drink about two times a month, which is true. They said they wanted to monitor me in a relapse prevention group because still drinking after being arrested for drinking is “concerning” even though those arrests were 2002, and 2003 and I was literally a fucking teenager.
They want an open ended treatment plan which consists of one group meeting per week, one individual meeting per week, and a random drug/alcohol test each week. This would cost me a minimum of $120 per week, 8 week minimum, “could be extended until my counselor is satisfied my treatment goals are met.” Evaluation counselor told me she had no concern with me owning firearms during the evaluation.
So here’s the post: I can’t afford it. No way in hell. I’m a county employee (civilian sheriff’s department employee), with a second job as a medical assistant at the major hospital network in my area, going to nursing school in the fall, with an ignition interlock in my car because of these 20 year old DWIs, not federally prohibited from owning firearms, own many guns already, held a CCW in Florida previously. Here’s the rub: The letter from the judge asking for me to complete an evaluation and comply if treatment was recommended was dated two days before the southern NY ruling that drug testing is unconstitutional. Certainly, requiring thousands of dollars of “treatment” just for no guarantee that I’m approved falls within these unconstitutional bounds.
My Main Question: Do I rescind my application to avoid denial? Do I provide all documentation to the judge including my refusal to attend treatment because of financial reasons, let him deny me, and lawyer up? I have about 10 days to decide. I’m an open book. Ask me anything to help clarify.
TLDR: Judge demands thousands of dollars worth of substance abuse treatment to consider my pistol application.
