Legal Question in Criminal Law in Tennessee

Re: Do misdemeanors follow me when I move?

Each can be effected by the other. If KY learns of the TN charge, the KY court can revoke her probation. If TN learns of the KY conviction, the TN court should increase her sentence. If your daughter lies in either court about the other charge or what has been done with it, she could be charged with and convicted of perjury, a far more serious offense. And if your daughter doesn't stop using pot, she is likely to waster her life away. Now, all of that said, most arrests for simple possession of marijuana involve illegal police searches or stops, and if that is shown to the court, then the evidence should not be allowed in the the new charge should be dismissed. Your daughter needs an attorney who knows what he is doing in criminal court. If she would like to discuss her case, have her contact me thru my website at jesbeard.com There is a wealth of information on there about what she sould expect in court here in Tennessee.

Your daughter�s Kentucky conviction for Simple Possession can be used to increase her punishment for a subsequent Simple Possession charge in Tennessee. In addition, In Tennessee, a person having two or more prior Simple Possession charges will charged with Felony Simple Possession.
