Great content.. I'm currently serving a life without parole for a crime I didn't commit and no-one in my case died. This is very helpful. I wish that I could obtain your services but I am in SC.

Thank you for this video. I have a loved one detained in Northwest Tacoma, passed the 180 days ...this infinite detention has already impacted his children and widowed mother

Thank you for this video, it was illuminating in many ways. Not just in what a writ of habeas corpus is, but further how it is applied in criminal law when there is suspicion of unlawful detention or restraint.

Do you include the relief being sought in the grounds for relief on the 1107 form? For example: "I am seeking relief from the inclusion of the affirmative finding of a deadly weapon."

[yellowsharpie]

Thank you. This helped me understand and distinguish Habeas Corpus from Amparo. I wish you were my law professor!

Absolutely love your channel thank you for the information and what you're doing for the people. I have a quick question I have a cousin who is 32 years of age who when 12 years old was charged along with two other boys in a sexual misconduct situation. He had ineffective counsel for he was advised to plead guilty, the other two boys did not plead guilty and their case was dismissed. Now some twenty years later he's being held for failing to register as a sex offender for a conviction that he pled guilty to when he was 12 years old. Does this sound reasonable to you? Must a juvenile seal his records in order to be protected from them being used against him? Thank you for your opinions concerning.

Thank you for these - Please cover the procedure for filing a AO91 where FRAUD was committed on the Court in Respondent's Declarations or Transcripts AND can be proven with Exhibits. How Form is properly completed, How to Serve properly and appropriate followup.

All I can say is in Polk county, detainment is the 1st thing they do to both parties because it brings $300 per day per person. One accusation from a perpetrator is all it takes to be detained. Property owners are in great danger, they have no regard for securing your property when they do detain you. Your one call is almost impossible to make. I am not nearly as afraid of criminals as I am legal kidnapping. I have learned that calling 911 for help is dangerous.

Thank you, brother of the bar, for your presentation. It will help many people understand this legal concept and some of the key writs issuing thereunder. The only thing I would have added at the beginning is the literal Medieval Latin translation, "We [a court] command that you may have the body." That, along with a bit of its history, I think would lay out the basic premise in its historical context for deeper understanding. Nevertheless, an excellent job!

Thank you! This helped me with my homework project for my constitutional law class! I am following your page now. :)
