A metal ladder buckled under me with no warning. I hit concrete and have enormous hematomas across my back and down my left leg. I hit my head. I developed urinary bleeding the next day.

I am seeking information about a criminal defense law book used in Michigan that contains penal codes and statutes. Additionally, I have questions about a mistrial in a circuit court criminal case: Can the same circuit court judge preside over the retrial? Does the defendant need to be formally recharged, rearranged, and given a new bond hearing after a mistrial? What should be done if there is alleged collusion between the prosecutor, judge, and the defendant's attorney?

I co-signed for an auto loan for my daughter's fiancé. They are now not together. If I pay off the balance and draw up legal paperwork for a repayment schedule, will that loan come off my credit? Additionally, if we pay off the loan to protect us from litigation if he were to wreck the truck, should we put it in his name or ours? If we become the loan company by paying off the current loan and having him sign a promissory note in front of a notary, and I write on this note that if he misses 2 or more payments he will be considered in default of this loan and we will take possession of the truck, is this legally binding and can we do this?
