My roommate, who is male, choked me in my room. I had to fight him off and he had scratch marks on his chest. I called my mom, who came and called the police and EMTs when I told her I was having soreness in my neck and throat. The police came and charged me with simple assault and him with aggravated assault. Why was I charged?

I am from Florissant, MO, and after a divorce, I moved there, bought a big house, and lost my job after twenty years. I took up drinking due to depression and received three DWIs, two of which were settled. My family intervened and sent me to CA for help. After 5 months and $40,000, I began to care about life again and remarried. My third DWI was in 2004, and I made restitution with the state of MO. Now, the municipality of Florissant tells me I have to go back, get a $500 bond, and wait for a court date to plead. I have a full-time job and so does my wife. Is there a time limitation on this, and can I get my life back together without having to return to MO?

I had a DUI blood test taken, and my court date is in the first week of September. I called the courts to get the results of the blood alcohol test, but they said there's no record in their system and suggested I call back with the ticket number. I haven't called back, hoping it was lost in the system. What happens if, on the court date, they don't call my name or I'm not on the list? Is there any chance of dismissal if they track it down?

Does expungement mean I can have a gun?

I am interested in financial rights after my father's passing on August 16th. I do not know if I was left anything in his will or who the executor of the estate is. How can I find out if I am mentioned in the will, and if not, what happens to the estate?
