The US Constituion say no but not only that it is one of those unalienabel rights that have been endowed by our creator.  The hand of big government can slap anyone so I say challenge the cult of the omnipotent state.\n\nIn Liberty,\nEric H. Smith

It, of course, depends on your state's caselaw on the subject.  But, yes, it is possible... again depending on your state.  It won't be done unless there is "extraordinary circumstances".  That being said, if it is done, there is one hell of a good chance that, if convicted, the defendant will have a great appeal.  The prosecutor is a VERY interested party. He or she has a stake in the outcome of the case, and may not be that believable.\n\n-ask the bar association in your state-do not take anything said online as legal advice-

No. You've just described why such judgement is wrong. Prosecute the offender, not the community.

the judicial system is guilty until proven innocent. there is no longer a thing called a fair trial. thank the media for that.

It can't be handled in one trial.  Theft is criminal, and malicious prosecution and breach of contract are civil.  The DA won't touch them.  If you don't have a lawyer to bargain with the DA, then your best bet is to sit tight, gather your evidence, and defend yourself at the criminal trial.  If the DA wins, your case may be sunk; but if the DA loses you will be in a better position to sue the witness whom you believe lied.  You can sue in civil court, and you might be able to sue in Small Claims without a lawyer.

It is atrocious to jail people without a trial, a lawyer or even one phone call; how can the US say that they are a "free" country?\n\nI am completely fine with locking up criminals but there has to be a process and evidence or the US just becomes a dictatorship.\n\n\n\nWe can not appeal to the conscience of the world when our own conscience is asleep.\nCarl von Ossietzky

Lawyers have an obligation to make sure that their clients get a fair trial.

All depends on what trial it is of course. I suggest you telephone for some advice, perhaps your lawyer.

If someone has enough money, then they can make there case last for a very very long time... But its true public defenders have enough on there plate, and unless they truley think you are guilty you will get somewhat of a speedy trial... But there are way to many ppl. that have to wait in jail, or be out on bond for 1-2+yrs, just waiting... something really should be done..

I saw a show on thirteen world about this topic, it is very interesting. \nIt should vary from case to case. If someone found evidence of prior  hate or bad thoughts and such for the victim of the crime, they should have a some jail time, but even if they commited murder, it is  not wise to put them to jail because they were unconcious. If you can prove that they were concious that in fact changes everything. Judges should handle this with thought. I Disagree with everyone else because subconsious movement may be a sickness.

It would depend on the individual case. If the police and/or prosecution had planted evidence or hid evidence that would have proved someones innocence, then deliberately and knowingly prosecuted an innocent man, then yes, under those circumstances I feel both criminal and civil charges should be brought against the "People". But unfortunately our law system is not perfect and even when everything is done by the book, sometimes an innocent person is found guilty of a crime that they did not commit. In those cases you cannot blame the prosecution or law enforcement, and it would be unfair to penalize them.

Well if you didn't do it fight it to the supreme courts if you have too. If you did, just admit it and move on. I am not sure what the sentence is but jail time or a fine maybe. Steer clear of the x. I have one that is a jerk from you know where too....good luck to you.

What you're forgetting is that tomorrow it could be you.  If you were accused of a crime, should we not give you any rights, just throw you straight in jail?  If you're just referring to people who have been convicted, which rights do you mean?  They don't have many.  You do have to remember that unless they got the death penalty, they are going to return to society some day.  You don't prepare someone for that by putting them in a hole and telling they they're not a citizen anymore.

The county is not going to keep you in jail for absolutely no reason...I strongly suggest obtaining counsel and presenting the question to them.

It's called justice. No sentence without trial first.\n\nTo incarcerate someone without a trial is the kind of thing I would expect of Saddam H. I would like to think the United States is a long way from that kind of human rights abuse.
