Public Defender Who gets a public Defender?
If you are accused of a crime for which you could be sentenced to jail, and you can’t afford to hire an attorney, the court will appoint one to represent you. A lawyer serving in this capacity is commonly referred to as a “public defender.” In Prince William County public defenders are selected from a list of lawyers from the private legal community who volunteer, and are paid for their services with public funds. In order to get a public defender in Prince William County, you will be required to discuss your financial situation with the Clerk of the Court. No documentation is required, however you will be required to answer a series of questions (questionnaire) to determine your ability to pay for a private attorney. If you are considered indigent (unable to pay), you will see a judge for a final disposition and instruction. The judge will have you swear under oath to the truthfulness of your situation, and will direct a public defender to represent you. If you are found guilty, you will be required to pay the amount of your court-appointed lawyer’s fee. Although court-appointed attorneys are paid much less than their private sector counterparts, fees can still cost you hundreds, or possibly thou-
sands of dollars. Be careful, do not give inaccurate information to the court in an effort to get a public defender appointed, you could be charged with the crime of falsifying information. It is important to apply for a public defender at least 10 days in advance of your court date, however, you should go to the Clerk’s office which is located on the second floor of the courthouse - as soon as you know the date of your next court appearance. Applicants should apply at 8:00am as the judge may not be available after that time. Interviews and court appearances are only scheduled in the early morning.
Are court appointed attorneys as good as private attorneys? The obvious advantage of a public defender is there is no cost to you if you are innocent, and substantially smaller fees if you are found guilty. However, a public defender won’t be able to assist you with related civil law or administrative matters (such as driver’s license revocation hearings in a DWI case). You’ll need to hire a separate attorney to help you with these concerns.
Prince William attorneys who volunteer for this program can benefit from the extra case load by getting added trial experience involving a diversity of charged crimes, and also by becoming very faimiliar with what types of settlements (plea bargains) are likely to satisfy the prosecutor and the Court. Private attorneys, though, can have the advantage of lower caseloads, and they typically have more time and resources to spend on your defense. In addition, many private attorneys specialize in certain types of offenses giving them more expertise in building an effective defense. Whether public defender or private attorney, retaining good counsel is a critical first step in the legal proscess.

Have you been Arrested? What’s Next
Are You in Jail? In the United States Justice System if you are accused or charged with a crime, you are eligible to be released from jail (under most circumstances) until such time as you are convicted of that crime at your trial. To get released from jail you will probably be required to post bail (give something of value) in the amount or type called for by law or set by a judicial officer. The purpose of bail is to allow you to be released from jail, yet provide the Court with some reasonable assurance that you will return to court for your trial.
What is Bail? Bail represents something of value (security) that is held by the Court in the form of a bond until you return. Bail can be a specific amount of money and / or simply your “word” that you will act in a specific way, including returning to Court when ordered to do so. You will be required to see a judicial officer (JO) such as a Magistrate , or a Judge who will fix the amount of your bail. You will have an opportunity to explain the circumstances of your arrest and your ability to pay bail.

Once you are entered into the system, the Detention Officers will collect your fingerprints and photograph. These will be added to your record and kept on file for future reference.
Before you can be released, the Detention Officers must document information about you and what you are accused of doing into the state’s computers. The process is called booking and it creates your record of criminal activity.

Try to be pleasa nt to the Detention Officers , they are not the re ason you are in jail. Their job is to book (process) you into the state’s judicial in formation network. Th e more cooperative you are, the faster you can get out. It is important to stay calm – this won’t ta ke forever. DISRUPTIONS alway s cause significant de lays! Don’t stress yourself, things will get better. Just follow directions and do wha t is necessary to get out.

Then, you will be informed formally of the charges against you and notified of your bail amount. You will have to appear before a Magistrate or Judge before bail can be set. At that point, you can begin to consider how you wish to pay your bail so you can be released from the jail.
Depending on how busy the jail is, this process can take anywhere from an hour to most of a day. Just relax, cooperate with the Detention Officers’ instructions, and they will get you through it as fast as possible. Remember: The Detention Officers are there to help you get out of jail as quickly as possible.
Your first encounter with the judicial system will probably be through the Magistrate’s Office, which is open 24/hours daily.

When you were first brought into the jail, you were likely stripped of all weapons, contraband, and perhaps even your cell phone and other personal items. The Detention Officers will then take down personal information and run a check in the system to look for outstanding warrants and criminal history.

Pre-Trial Court Appearances in a Criminal Case When state laws are broken, offenders are prosecuted by the State of Virginia in Courts located and operated by counties around the State. Your first encounter with Virginia’s judicial system will probably be through the Magistrate’s Office in Prince William County.

• If the Court finds there is no probable cause, the matter is dismissed (this would be the equivalent of a grand jury declining to press charges). If this happens, defendants are released.
• If the Court finds there is probable cause, the matter is transferred to Trial Court. Many Courts use the term bound over, as “the defendant is bound over to the District or Circuit Court for trial.”

Community Service is Important Community service means donating your time as repayment to the community for the crimes you have committed. Most misdemeanor convictions result in some community service requirement. When required to complete community service it means you’re not done with Court until it’s done and proof of completion is filed with the Court. After sentencing the Court will give you paperwork that describes how much community service you must complete. It’s important that you understand your community service requirement and where you can complete it.

I Believe I am Innocent! What Can I Do to Save My License? •
First and foremost, hire an experienced attorney. There are many factors to consider.
• Request a hearing and request the officer’s presence. It will give you a preview of a trial, a rarity in criminal cases. The officer who signed the affidavit and notice of hearing must show up and justify the suspension. Other officers may be subpoened.
• Retest the sample. Testing errors could help prove your innocence.
• Check the labeling of the sample. It must be identified as being yours.
• Investigate the adequacy of the stop. The officer must have had a reasonable suspicion that a crime or traffic infraction was being committed.

Officers must perform the tests within certain guidelines. • Attend the motor vehicle hearing. Listen for omissions and other errors.

DUI Sentencing The sentence for a DUI conviction will be based on several factors. The more prior convictions you have for DUI, the more likely you will be sentencd to jail for a current offense. For most Judges the single most important sentencing factor is if you have prior alcohol or drug related offenses. Judges are also concerned if a car accident occurred. In addition to deciding whether you will have to serve a jail sentence, the Judge will also decide how many community service hours you will be required to do, how long your probation will be, and how much alcohol or drug therapy you must complete. First time offenders do not usually get sentenced to jail unless there are “aggravating” factors such as a high BAC, or an accident that causes injury.

Protection Order, a.k.a. “Restraining Order” At your first hearing with the Judicial Officer, the same one where your bail amount is decided, the court will probably issue some type of protection order. This order will detail restrictions against you while your case is pending. You will be asked before the hearing ends if you understand the terms of the protection order. Once you state that you do, you are bound by law to adhere to the terms, and can be rearrested if you violate those terms.
Need an Attorney?
It is always a good idea to consult an attorney when you charged in a domestic violence case. You will be prohibited from contacting the victim(s) in the case, but an attorney can establish dialogue to discuss living arrangements, bill payment, money, etc.
Attorneys can also help you understand the terms of the protection order which will be issued against you and can advise you of the victim’s position on that order.

Things You Should Know Reconciliation Court appearances are scheduled quickly so as to facilitate solutions to the problems domestic violence causes, and to review protection orders and the need to “lift” or modify them.
Quick Tips • Protection orders only work one way. You are the one restrained, not the victim. • DON’T DRINK!
The Commonwealth Attorney will contact the victim and determine the level of violence and abuse that has occurred. The prosecuting attorney will listen to the wishes and needs of the victim and make recommendations to the Court as to modifications to the protection order. If you have an attorney, they can contact the victim as well to determine his/her requirements throughout the Protection Order as well as the need for its continuation. Voluntarily entering counseling or anger management classes can demonstrate serious willingness to change on the part of domestic abusers.
Victim’s Responsibilities • Respect the conditions of the Protection Order and do not entice, seduce, or trick the restrained person into violating the protection order. Remember, even if you want to communicate, you must voice this desire through the Court and allow for proper modification of the protection order.
REMEMBER! Permission to contact the victim can only come from the judge. quicker resolution of your case.
• Cooperate in communicating with the commonwealth attorney or defendant’s attorney, as this is the process to a
• Have a safety plan, including a place outside the family home to seek shelter in extreme cases.
• The victim(s) can do anything they want to do (so long as no law is violated of course) without repercussion.
• The victim can call you, but if you talk to them that is a violation of the protection order and you can be arrested.
• If the victim comes over and tries to talk with you and you agree, you have violated the protection order. • If you receive an email or text from the victim(s) and you respond, you are in violation of the protection order.
• Do not contact the victim’s employer or other family members. It could get you arrested if someone complains.
• If you see the victim, go the other way. If you’re at a restaurant or party, LEAVE! Don’t be fooled into thinking you were there first and it’s O’K. Law enforcement may see it differently and arrest you! • If you both agree to meet at a restaurant for a drink to discuss things, you probably have violated the protection order at least three ways!
• You should maintain a record of all attempts by the victim(s) to contact you. In the event of a violation, these records could be important. • Stay off Facebook and other social networks until the Protection Order is lifted. Statements made on websites could get you arrested.
REMEMBER! Only the Court can change a Protective Order.
• Hire an attorney of your own to effect good communication with the defendent’s attorney and the Court. • Remember and respect the needs of any children involved.

¿Y Ahora Qué?
¿Está usted en prisión?
El ordenamiento jurídico de los Estados Unidos reconoce el derecho del imputado a permanecer en libertad hasta que sea declarado culpable ante un tribunal y esto se cumple en la mayoría de los casos. La concesión de la libertad bajo fianza se produce a cambio del pago o entrega de algo de valor en la cantidad y tipo especificada por ley o establecida por un juez. La finalidad es que el imputado pueda permanecer fuera de prisión asegurando al tribunal mediante una garantía razonable de que usted se presentará ante el tribunal cuando le sea requerido.
¿Qué es la fianza?
La fianza representa algo con valor reconocido que se queda el tribunal como garantía de que la persona imputada de un delito cumplirá con la obligación contraída de presentarse ante una corte. Puede consistir en una cantidad de dinero determinado y/o en su palabra de que se compromete a actuar según lo ordenado por el tribunal – por ejemplo regresando a la corte cuando éste lo requiera. La ley contempla una fianza determinada para muchos delitos y si usted paga la cantidad exigida puede quedar en libertad. Sin embargo, es posible que se le pida presentarse ante un juez si la fianza no ha sido fijada o si usted quiere cambiar o reducir los requisitos. En la mayoría de las circunstancias, usted tiene el derecho a ser excarcelado.
Qué hay que esperar: su registro en el sistema

Sección en Español Detención Por Violencia Doméstica Estoy arrestado: ¿Y ahora, qué?
En el estado de Colorado, cuando se produce un arresto por un crimen, se expide una orden de protección automática. Su finalidad es proteger a los testigos y a las víctimas de posibles represalias, acoso, abuso, soborno e intimidación por parte del acusado. Es mejor no establecer ningún tipo de contacto con testigos o víctimas. El tribunal considerará cualquier intento de sobornar o intimidar a un testigo o víctima con la finalidad de ejercer una influencia sobre él como un ataque al sistema jurídico y, consecuentemente, las penas pueden ser muy severas.
¿Qué es la Violencia Doméstica?
La Violencia Doméstica es el empleo de la violencia en el ámbito familiar o privado. Los tribunales la consideran un asunto muy grave. Si ha sido detenido por un cargo de violencia doméstica, su comparecencia ante un juez es obligatoria. El juez determinará una fianza para su puesta en libertad tras analizar la gravedad del acto cometido y el nivel de amenaza ejercida sobre la víctima. La víctima en un caso de violencia doméstica puede ser cualquier miembro familiar incluyendo esposa, pareja, hijos, padres, hermanos y otros familiares, pero también amigos y otras personas que vivan con usted. El principal objetivo de la policía en estos casos es eliminar la amenaza que el agresor representa para las víctimas. Por ello, si un agente policial detecta algún indicio de violencia doméstica EFECTUARÁ un arresto para apartar al agresor del lugar desde donde se han denunciado los hechos.
Qué hay que saber
tarán si entiende los términos de la orden. Una vez confirme que usted ha comprendido los términos, está obligado por ley a respetarlos, y su violación puede conducir a un nuevo arresto. Tiene que entender que, en casos de violencia doméstica, usted, de ninguna manera, debe ponerse en contacto con las víctimas. Esto significa que no puede establecer NINGÚN TIPO DE COMUNICACIÓN, aunque sea la víctima la que inicie ese contacto, telefoneándole o escribiéndole. Estará usted bajo una orden de alejamiento de la casa y el trabajo de la víctima, aunque la casa sea también de su propiedad. No deberá estar en posesión de armas de fuego u otro tipo, ni tener ni consumir bebidas alcohólicas o drogas y tendrá la obligación de cumplir con cualquier otra orden que la corte juzgue apropiada para garantizar la seguridad de la víctima. En la mayoría de los casos de violencia doméstica contra una esposa, los hijos serán incluidos en la orden de protección como víctimas.
Modificaciónes a la Orden de Protección
¡El juez es el único competente para modificar o levantar la orden de protección! Si durante la comparecencia, usted considera que no va a poder cumplir con las restricciones impuestas en la orden, debe de explicárselo al juez. Éste determinará si la introducción de una modificación está justificada. Por ejemplo, si usted y la víctima tienen su lugar de trabajo o estudian en la misma localidad, o si usted se encuentra fuera de la ciudad y deben viajar juntos, es posible que el juez introduzca una modificación en la orden teniendo en cuenta estas circunstancias. Mientras espera su juicio o comparecencia, lo más importante es cumplir con todos los términos establecidos en la orden de protección En su primera comparecencia impuesta contra usted. ¡Recuerde que únicamente el ante el juez (el mismo que determina juez puede modificar la orden! la cantidad de la fianza), el tribunal expedirá una orden de protección. IMPORTANTE: Lleve siempre enLas restricciones contra usted están detalladas en esta orden y, mientras cima una copia de la orden para poder mostrarla en el caso de que el caso siga abierto, usted tendrá que supeditarse a ellas.

¿Necesita un abogado?
Si ha sido acusado de un delito de violencia doméstica, siempre es una buena idea consultar con un abogado. A usted se le prohibirá la comunicación con la víctima, pero un abogado puede actuar como mediador para discutir cuestiones relacionadas con la vivienda, el dinero, el pago de facturas, etcétera. El abogado puede explicarle los términos de la orden contra usted y aconsejarle con respecto a la posición de la víctima en esa orden. El abogado puede también tratar conjuntamente con el tribunal y con usted la modificación o levantamiento de la orden lo antes posible.

* The Virginia VINE System will automatically call or email you if there is a change in the offender’s custody status, parole/probation status, and of upcoming court events or case status changes. * All telephone registrations through the Virginia VINE System are anonymous. You will be asked to choose a special PIN (Personal Identification Number) to acknowledge notifications from the system. * You may register more than one telephone number. Each registered phone number must have a related PIN for that number. * You can register against a Virginia offender regardless of where you live in the country, but to register against other state offenders you would have to refer to that state’s VINE program. * The VINE system calls every 30 minutes for a 24 hour period. If you are not at home when the VINE system calls with a notification, the service will leave a message and call back every two hours for a 24 hour period. If your email address is registered you will only receive one email containing the status change information of the offender you are registered against. * You may call the VINE System as often as you want from any touchtone telephone to check on an offender’s custody and court status, 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Do not depend solely on the VINE service for your protection. If you feel that you may be at risk, take precautions as if the offender has already been released.
