[NC] How do I handle a client sending hostile texts?

I have a client who is sending aggressive texts, emotionally manipulative texts, gaslighting texts, verbally aggressive phone calls, and threats to slander our business. I run a successful pet sitting business of 12 years, and after 72 hours this client has become hostile. We won’t abandon the dog because we feel bad for him, but the client sends a slew of wild, accusational texts and we need them to stop. Should an immediate cease and desist work?

[CA] Did my defense suffer because my lawyers failed to obtain the accuser’s 2018 T-Mobile tower records?

I’ve been asking my public defender for accuser t-mobile cell phone records for 4 years now. I read online t-mobile records only 3 years. The accuser said she never returned to my house after assault but the tower records will show different. I feel my defense has been prejudice by the timing of we can’t get those records.

[FL] After being charged with third-degree battery on a law-enforcement officer without evidence, and being injured and mistreated in custody, should I accept pretrial intervention or fight the charge?

I’m currently being chartered with BOL 3rd degree. I got a lawyer who, when I told her what happened, told me she could get it dismissed. And then after a few court dates she tells me there is no way to get it dismissed because it was a law enforcement officer this charge was about, so she discussed PTI with me. I’m apprehensive to sign it — I saw the discovery, I have the videos, I don’t see me kick anyone. Matter of fact, they had no right to cuff me. I was walking away from them. Then after they get me to the jail, they strip me naked, basically threw me around like a rag doll. I had bruises everywhere which I have proof of — my ankles and my wrists, I had a bruise on my face. Naked, and for a day and a half I had to take meetings naked in a cell. They finally did the physical evaluation and realized I was not crazy. This was not good. They put me in general population.

[KS] How would law enforcement contact me if my text messages are reviewed?

I was groomed online at 15 by a 23-year-old on Discord. We had a romantic/sexual relationship. He lives in a different state. He was recently arrested for online solicitation of a minor after Discord tipped police; his devices were seized. Can they see our messages, and will Kansas or Mississippi police contact me?
