Today for Women’s History March we honor Claudette Colvin

https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history

A full nine months before Rosa Parks's famous act of civil disobedience, 15-year-old Claudette Colvin is arrested on March 2, 1955 for refusing to give up her seat on a segregated Montgomery, Alabama bus.

Colvin was traveling home from school when the bus' driver ordered her, along with three fellow Black students, to give up their row of seats to a white passenger. Colvin’s friends obliged, but she refused to move. At school, she had recently learned about abolitionists, and later recalled that “it felt like Sojourner Truth was on one side pushing me down, and Harriet Tubman was on the other side of me pushing me down. I couldn’t get up.”

Montgomery segregation laws at the time dictated that Black passengers sit behind white passengers on public transportation, and bus drivers routinely moved Black passengers to make room for white passengers. Colvin, in refusing to move, cited that she paid her fare and staying seated was her constitutional right. She was then forcibly removed from the bus by two police officers, handcuffed and arrested, and booked in a local adult jail. She was charged with violating segregation law, disorderly conduct and assaulting a police officer. (The former two charges were dropped, but the latter stayed on her record until it was expunged over six decades later in 2021.)

After being picked up by her parents that day, Colvin recalled her father’s fear of reprisal from the Ku Klux Klan and recounted that he did not sleep that night and instead sat armed with a fully loaded shotgun.

Colvin’s arrest was not the first instance of a Black person in the South refusing to give up their seat on a bus to a white passenger, but it did come at a pivotal moment for the civil rights movement. Fred D. Gray, a prominent Montgomery lawyer and activist, took Colvin on as a client—his first civil rights case—with the aim of filing a federal suit to desegregate Alabama's bus system. Local civil rights leaders, however, decided not to proceed, in part due to Colvin’s age but also because, by her own assessment, she was too dark-skinned and soon became pregnant at age 16. These factors, some feared, would hurt her chances of winning the case—unlike the known community figure who soon followed in her footsteps: Rosa Parks.

On December 1, 1955, Parks, a 42-year-old seamstress and NAACP secretary, also refused to vacate her seat on a Montgomery bus for a white passenger, and was arrested. Days later, segregated buses became a central site of struggle: The Montgomery Bus Boycott, during which Black residents refused to use the city bus system, began on December 5, 1955. On its first day, the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., proclaimed: “My friends, I want it to be known that we’re going to work with grim and bold determination to gain justice on the buses in this city. … we are not wrong in what we are doing. If we are wrong, the Supreme Court of this nation is wrong.”

In 1956, that claim went to court: Gray, alongside Charles D. Langford, brought a legal case before the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama, which challenged the constitutionality of bus segregation in both the city of Montgomery and the state as a whole. Known as Browder v. Gayle, it was filed on behalf of four Black women who, the district court later determined, were treated unconstitutionally on the Montgomery’s bus system: Colvin, Susie McDonald, Aurelia S. Browder and Mary Louise Smith—another teenager whose bus protest predated Park's. (A fifth plaintiff, Jeanetta Reese, was intimidated to withdraw from the case.)

Browder v. Gayle ultimately reached the U.S. Supreme Court, which upheld the earlier ruling that bus segregation was in violation of the 14th Amendment. Attempts at appeal were rejected, and the Montgomery Bus Boycott—considered the first large-scale U.S. demonstration against segregation—came to a close on December 20, 1956, 381 days after it began, and one year, nine months and 18 days after Colvin's arrest.

New Alabama law could make it easier for reformed criminals to get jobs MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) – Once upon a time, a new law signed over the weekend by Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey could have helped Casmarah Mani. “I raised a lot of hell when I was a younger person,” the Mobile man said. The new law is known as the REDEEMER Act. It’s an acronym and a mouthful – Record Expungement Designed to Enhance Employment and Eliminate Recidivism Act. It allows for people convicted of misdemeanor offenses and certain nonviolent felonies to have their records expunged. Mani, who owns Diamonds Convenience Store on Congress Street, said it has been 40 years since he had problems with the law. He said he largely sidestepped the employment ramifications of a record by working for himself. But Mani told FOX10 News that old convictions do a lot of harm. He spoke in favor of a Mobile City Council initiative to “ban the box” in 2014. The council asked the Mobile County Personnel Board to stop asking job applicants about certain convictions. The law signed over the weekend goes much further. “When they put that felony on that application, most employers have a hang-up about hiring them.,” Mani said. “I’ve known guys who have lied on their application and worked two months. And when they find out they lied on their application, they got rid of them – not because they weren’t good workers. Because of the application.” The expungement option is not open to everyone. Violent felons and people convicted of sex offenses will not be able to apply. But people with misdemeanors and certain nonviolent felonies can get the records sealed. It is also open to people who have committed some more serious offenses and later won a pardon. Beginning in July, when the law takes effect, people who qualify for the break will be able to petition the court for the expungement. Judges will make the determination based on factors like the nature of the offense and how long ago it occurred. Robert Clopton, president of the Mobile County chapter of the NAACP, said it will make the transmission from incarceration easier. “People should not be held accountable (for) every mistake that they made in their life, for their entire life, if it was a minor mistake,” he said. Mobile City Council President Levon Manzie, a strong proponent of the “ban the box” movement, welcomed the new law. “The governor’s support of this positive,” he said. “And hopefully, it will allow for redemption for thousands of Alabamians.” Alabama’s previous expungement law, passed in 2014, was much narrower. It generally applied only to people with traffic, misdemeanor or non-violent felony charges that has been dismissed or where the defendant has been found not guilty. As a result, defense lawyer Dennis Knizley said, he had few clients who qualified. He told FOX10 News that he expects “tremendously more” people will be able to take advantage now. “So many times, this old arrest and even conviction of a nonviolent act inhibits them from doing so,” he said. “And I think if an opportunity for a person, under the right conditions, can have that record expunged, it is a positive thing.” All content © 2021, WALA; Mobile, AL.

What we know about the Tyreek Hill allegations

Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images

The NFL announced it will not suspend Tyreek Hill.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill was under investigation by police for an alleged battery and one other alleged incident. No charges were filed and, in July, the NFL announced it would not suspend the receiver.

“Based on the evidence presently available, the NFL cannot conclude that Mr. Hill violated the Personal Conduct Policy,” a statement from the league reads, in part.

The Chiefs subsequently released their own statement.

“We have been informed of the decision by the National Football League that, based on the available evidence, the league has not found that Tyreek Hill violated the NFL’s Personal Conduct Policy,” the Chiefs said. “Based on the information provided to us by the league, we have decided it is appropriate for Tyreek to return to the team at the start of training camp. The club fully supports the conditions for return laid out by the league and will continue to monitor any new developments in the case. We are glad to welcome Tyreek back to the team and look forward to the start of training camp next week.”

Hill then released his own statement, thanking the NFL and the Chiefs.

According to ESPN’s Dan Graziano, the NFL previously considered putting Hill on the commissioner’s exempt list — a rare move during the offseason.

Near the end of June, Hill sat down with NFL investigators and according to Pro Football Talk, the meeting lasted eight hours. The league previously said it was staying out of the way of the police investigation.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says on #Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill that there is a court proceeding and “We will not interfere with that. The priority here is the young child.” The NFL will speak with Hill as soon as possible, though.

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) May 22, 2019

He was also suspended by the Chiefs from all team activities in April.

— 41 Action News (@41actionnews) April 26, 2019

Here’s what we know about the situation:

What was Tyreek Hill accused of?

According to KCTV 5, Overland Park (Kan.) police were called to the home of Hill on March 5 and March 14. The first call was to investigate a report of child abuse or neglect, and the second was to investigate battery of a juvenile. The Kansas City Star reported that the incident was against Hill’s son, resulting in a broken arm.

In April, KCTV 5 reported Hill temporarily lost custody of his son as a result of the ongoing investigation.

The Johnson County District Attorney announced earlier in the spring that the investigated was closed and that neither Hill nor his fiancé would be charged with a crime. That announcement came despite the office’s belief “that a crime has occurred.” The DA reportedly said “the evidence does not conclusively establish who committed the crime.”

The investigation was reopened after KCTV aired recordings of a conversation between Hill and his fiancé an hour before the beginning of the 2019 NFL Draft, shedding new light on the abuse. The NFL reportedly already had the entire 11-minute recording before it was released in clips by KCTV.

The recordings initially appeared to indicate that Hill was responsible for the alleged abuse of his son:

In an audio obtain from @KCTV5, Crystal Espinal asks Tyreek Hill, "Why does he say, 'Daddy did it.'" A few minutes later in the conversation, Crystal Espinal says that Tyreek Hill punches his son in the arm & uses a belt a discipline.

— Nate Taylor (@ByNateTaylor) April 25, 2019

Hill in the audio to Crystal Espinal: "You need to be terrified of me, too, bitch"

— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) April 25, 2019

Hill’s lawyer disputed the allegations a week after the release of the recordings, and provided text messages that he said showed a different perspective.

Tyreek: “Crystal you know I didn’t cause any bruising or harm to [our son.] But for some reason I still may be charged.”

Crystal: “I know you didn’t. I did. I hurt [our son.] I’m the one that did it. I was hurt and mad at you so I blamed you for everything.”

Hill’s lawyer called the comment that “[Espinal] should be terrified, too” inexcusable, and says that Hill wouldn’t ask him “to defend that here.” The full length recording wasn’t released over two months later.

The criminal investigation was eventually closed for a second time.

The investigation by the Kansas Department For Children and Families remains ongoing, spokesman Mike Deines tells me. But that isn’t a criminal investigation of Tyreek Hill and Crystal Espinal. It’s strictly about the child’s welfare.

— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) July 19, 2019

The accusation of violence wasn’t the first for Hill. The receiver was arrested and charged with domestic assault and battery by strangulation in December 2014, following an incident in which he reportedly punched and choked his then-pregnant girlfriend. He pleaded guilty to the charge and was dismissed from the Oklahoma State football team before finishing his collegiate career at the University of West Alabama.

Hill completed his probation requirements and the case was expunged from his record. In the recorded conversation with Espinal, Hill denied that the 2014 incident ever happened.

HILL: “You ruined my life and you lied on me in 2014, bro...and if you want to rewind that night we can rewind that night too, [expletive]. You was in my house. And did I pick you up and slam you? Hell no, I picked you up and put you out my door and after that you left. And on my son you did that, bro. And then then you get in the courtroom you want to sit up there and cry on the stand. ‘He hit me, he hit me.’ Man, come on bro.”

What did the Chiefs say about the investigation?

Not much. The Chiefs acknowledged they were aware of the ongoing process. Head coach Andy Reid spoke about Hill, but didn’t say a lot:

Chiefs coach Andy Reid says he has not been in touch with Tyreek Hill. He does not have a further statement on the matter. “We’re just letting it take its course. Did I expect it to happen? I don’t know what happened. That’s what they’re trying to figure out.”

— Terez A. Paylor (@TerezPaylor) March 26, 2019

Reid didn’t speak about Hill again until the Chiefs began offseason workouts in the middle of April. Hill was in attendance, and Reid was vague once again.

“I know you’re going to potentially ask about Tyreek,” Reid said to reporters, via Arrowhead Pride. “Tyreek is here. I don’t have anything further to tell you from the statement we put out. There’s been no new news on it and so I’m going to leave it at that. I have had a chance to say hello to him. I have done that, and again, see him in the meeting.”

Just prior to the news of the alleged battery, Hill was close to a “record-setting” contract extension with the Chiefs, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Talk of an extension hasn’t bubbled up since, although Jay Glazer of The Athletic did say there “were some rumblings” of a trade involving the receiver.

Those rumors officially came to a close two days before Week 1 when Hill and the Chiefs agreed to a three year, $54 million contract extension.

About Lambert Strether

Readers, I have had a correspondent characterize my views as realistic cynical. Let me briefly explain them. I believe in universal programs that provide concrete material benefits, especially to the working class. Medicare for All is the prime example, but tuition-free college and a Post Office Bank also fall under this heading. So do a Jobs Guarantee and a Debt Jubilee. Clearly, neither liberal Democrats nor conservative Republicans can deliver on such programs, because the two are different flavors of neoliberalism (“Because markets”). I don’t much care about the “ism” that delivers the benefits, although whichever one does have to put common humanity first, as opposed to markets. Could be a second FDR saving capitalism, democratic socialism leashing and collaring it, or communism razing it. I don’t much care, as long as the benefits are delivered. To me, the key issue — and this is why Medicare for All is always first with me — is the tens of thousands of excess “deaths from despair,” as described by the Case-Deaton study, and other recent studies. That enormous body count makes Medicare for All, at the very least, a moral and strategic imperative. And that level of suffering and organic damage makes the concerns of identity politics — even the worthy fight to help the refugees Bush, Obama, and Clinton’s wars created — bright shiny objects by comparison. Hence my frustration with the news flow — currently in my view the swirling intersection of two, separate Shock Doctrine campaigns, one by the Administration, and the other by out-of-power liberals and their allies in the State and in the press — a news flow that constantly forces me to focus on matters that I regard as of secondary importance to the excess deaths. What kind of political economy is it that halts or even reverses the increases in life expectancy that civilized societies have achieved? I am also very hopeful that the continuing destruction of both party establishments will open the space for voices supporting programs similar to those I have listed; let’s call such voices “the left.” Volatility creates opportunity, especially if the Democrat establishment, which puts markets first and opposes all such programs, isn’t allowed to get back into the saddle. Eyes on the prize! I love the tactical level, and secretly love even the horse race, since I’ve been blogging about it daily for fourteen years, but everything I write has this perspective at the back of it.

Do You Always Lose Your License After A DUI?

DUI is the abbreviation used for the term Driving Under Influence. It is sometimes also called DWI (Driving While Intoxicated). It is the act of driving the motorized vehicle during or after the consumption of alcohol or drug or both.

DUI is a criminal offense in many countries and the person can be charged high fines or imprisonment for this crime. A driver has to lose his license for a specific time period or permanently depending on the severe-ness of the crime.

A DUI offense is considered as serious as any other criminal offenses in the United States. Those who get DUI have to face many consequences that a DUI can pose. The consequences can be both short term and long term affecting your work life as well as your personal life. This article explains how DUI affects your life detailing both the aspects of your life.

DUI Work And Life

A DUI can affect your work life to a great extent. You will lose your existing job as well as find difficult to get a new job. You may inevitably need to disclose your DUI to your current boss since you are required to attend court-ordered alcohol education classes and community services around your working hours. This leads to loss of job and as a result loss of income no matter how proficient you are at work. You may also find difficult to get a new job despite being highly qualified for the position since every employer requires a criminal background check.

Also, due to license suspension after DUI arrest, you may find difficult to drive to work. And if you are in a job that requires you to drive, you may lose your job.

DUI Affects Your Personal Life

Another main area of DUI can affect greatly is your personal life. It could affect your family, financial situation, transportation, car insurance, and rental transactions. Below we will see how DUI affects each area of your personal life.

Getting a DUI not only affects you but your family as well. Most states publicize DUI arrests. This can cause embarrassment for both you and your family in front of your friends, coworkers and neighbors.

DUI can be very expensive and it varies from state to state. DUI could cost you roughly $10000. This includes fines, legal fees, car insurance, license reinstatement fee, bail, alcohol evaluation, and other miscellaneous fees. Besides this, you would also incur a loss of income due to loss of job. Hence one may suffer financially after getting a DUI.

After getting arrested for DUI, your driver’s license is immediately suspended. As a result, you may need to opt for public transportation or depend on your friends or family members for rides. It can be frustrating for you and a burden for them.

A DUI conviction will skyrocket your car insurance rates. It also affects your life insurance premiums.

Like employment, you will find difficult to get a rental house since landlords require a background check. You would also be denied for renting vehicles.

Expunge your DUI record “completely” with the help of DUI Process Manual. It offers little-known strategies to clear your DUI record completely and pass employment background checks in a step-by-step approach. Especially, this strategy is helpful if your state (US) does not allow formal expungement.

Getting caught driving drunk is serious business in most states. Some states are more lenient while others are very harsh. – Like Utah for example. Once you are convicted of a DUI in Utah, it’s there for 75 years. You can’t seal the record and you can’t have it expunged. This can impact your life in multiple ways, and for the worst. Also, the legal implications of a DUI charge can be a nightmare. Below are some of the possible penalties you may face for a DUI. Also below are the ramifications of a DUI conviction as it relates to your personal life.

DUI License Suspension

License suspension will vary from state to state and depend on past offenses. – But just for a first offense, if you get convicted of DUI in Utah, you will have your license suspended for 6 months. If you get convicted of drunk driving in Alabama for the first time, you will lose your license for 90 days. – And get this, just your first DUI offense in Utah, you can expect a license suspension of 1 year.

A drunk driving conviction is bad all the way around and paying hefty fines is just another part of the many penalties. You can pay as little as $100 for your first DUI offense in states like Virginia, but in states like Utah, you can pay $500 to $1000 for your first offense with these numbers increasing after each offense. Add in the potential loss of employment, attorney’s fees and court costs and your bank account are going to take a beating.

DUI Car Impoundment

Even if you do get to keep your job, how are you going to get there without a car and without a vehicle? Having your car impounded will be another inconvenience for you and your family. It will also mean having to spend even more money to get to work. That is unless you have a friend that likes you enough to carry you back and forth every single day.

DUI Community Service

This DUI penalty will give you the opportunity to impress friends and family. No, not really, your community service may actually involve you picking up trash on the highway. Not glamorous, not fun, but undoubtedly humbling and a great opportunity for a person to think about their DUI.

DUI School

You will also probably get another chance to go to school, but not to party down at some cool college. You will have to go to DUI School. Interlocking Device Installment In order to earn this penalty, you were either really drunk at the time of your arrest or you have multiple offenses. An interlocking device is placed on your car’s ignition and will not allow you to crank the car unless you are sober.

DUI Probation

Yes. It’s true. Getting a DUI may land you on probation. You will have to meet with your new friend, a probation officer, regularly. – And be sure not to miss an appointment.

DUI Jail Time

Nobody wants to end up in jail, but depending on the circumstances of your DUI, you could do jail time. This is definitely one of the worst DUI penalties in my opinion.

Not only will you pay fines, lose your license, go to DUI school, etc., but a DUI will impact your life in many other ways as well. You will carry around the DUI stigma. You may lose your job. Your car insurance will definitely go up. Your credit may be hurt and depending on the circumstances of your case, you may lose your right to own a firearm. The person is considered drunk when his BAC count is above 0.08. The penalties for DUI charge can vary from state to state. The period of suspension of the license of the driver can vary depending on the percentage of the BAC count, the state in which you live and the severe-ness of the crime. The BAC limit of 0.08 is the same for all countries.

How Long Will I Lose My License?

The charges for the DUI can be as follows: • Imprisonment: Maximum of 6 months • License suspension for 12 months if BAC count is within the range of 0.08 to 0.15 • License suspension for 18 months if BAC count is within the range of 0.15 to 0.19 • License suspension for 24 months if BAC count is greater than 0.20 • Fine can be charged ranging from $500 to $1500 The length of the suspension of the license can vary depending on the charges. It can be increased from the above mention period in some cases. In some states, license suspension is obligatory if the driver refuses for the breath analyzer test.

If you possess the commercial driver’s license, you may face additional suspensions for the charge of drunk driving. All countries have made it mandatory to suspend the license of the driver found guilty under DUI charge. Typically, the suspension period can vary from 30 days to one year if you are charged the first time for DUI.

The Rules Revocation of License under DUI Charge: • First DUI conviction results in license cancellation for 1 year • Second DUI conviction results in license cancellation for 5 years • Third DUI conviction results in license cancellation for 10 years • Fourth DUI conviction results in license cancellation for lifetime Your license can also be revoked for the first DUI conviction in some countries. It can also be canceled if you refuse for the chemical test after your arrest. Repeated convictions can lead to the revocation for long term or lifetime. It is also possible to reduce the period of your license suspension or complete dismissal of your revocation, but the sudden action is needed to check these options. You can consult with your lawyer for these options. Your lawyer should request a DMV hearing within 10 days of completion of your hearing. Failing to do this can leave you without any further options.

It is not that you will lose your license if you are charged for DUI. There are various ways where you can defend against these charges. You can consult with your attorney for the substitute ways.

You probably know, that if you have been charged with a DUI, you are the midst of some serious business, with serious consequences. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a dangerous criminal act. Driving under the influence is a severe crime in every state. For this reason, you don’t want to try to defend yourself. Also, for this reason, you definitely should not throw in the towel and just plead guilty to get it over with. A DUI lawyer can be of huge help and benefit to you. DUI lawyers know much about how the court system operates and are also up to date on new laws and regulations. This will benefit you much more than if you were to try to defend yourself and clear up your record on your own. And, no matter how guilty you may feel about what has happened, it may definitely benefit you more than if you simply pleaded guilty. Certainly, hiring a good DUI lawyer is absolutely your best decision and ought to be your first move. The law is a large and complicated beast with many, many heads. Not every lawyer has the same training, education, and experience to handle all types of cases.

A given lawyer will have more knowledge and experience in one area than in another, so your choice of which type of lawyer to hire is very important. Using a DUI attorney or DUI Lawyer who focuses on drunk driving defense could make a big difference in the outcome of your case.

Also consider that there are many specialized DUI lawyers out there, and it makes a difference which one you ultimately choose to work with. Just as in any field, simply put, some DUI lawyers are much better and more experienced at what they do than others. DUI lawyers and their fees vary depending on the skill and experience of the attorney as well as the complexity of your DUI case. For example, many attorneys claim to be DUI defense lawyers, but they simply handle guilty pleas! Because of the seriousness of the crime and the lasting consequences that are often the result of a DUI, it is probably worth every penny and every minute to meet and work with a DUI lawyer who can do the most for you by virtue of their experience and track record.

Frankly, you need a lawyer who focuses on DUI with expertise tackling cases the same as yours – with positive results. You want to understand how many DUI trials has the lawyer handled in the last year. (You got to understand this figure to make sure that your lawyer has the power to defend you just in case your DUI suit goes to trial.) The more cases of DUI the lawyer has handled, the more competent he or she is probably going to be in DUI defense. Even more so, the more expertise the lawyer has with cases very similar to yours, the more he or she is probably going to be ready to give you with the most effective advantage, increasing your probabilities of success, with or without a trial.

The penalties in drunk driving cases are very difficult. You can potentially lose your driving privileges and in extreme cases might face jail time or maybe jail. On the opposite hand, bear in mind DUI cases conjointly get dismissed, DUI charges get reduced, DUI punishments get reduced, and people are found clean-handed on a consistent basis by DUI lawyers who investigate and who have the required knowledge and skill. (This, however, is not always the case. If the DUI causes injury or property damage and in cases where the DUI is not a first offense- the DUI charge can become and be treated as a felony. But remember, many cases of DUI/DWI also get dismissed on simple technicalities with the help of experienced DWI lawyers.

The DUI lawyer’s help is also very important during pre-trial conferences (the negotiations before an actual trial is set). They will research and use any technical defects they find to build a strong defense, in preparation for either settlement or trial. The last step in the court process is an actual criminal trial. Finally, if a trial has been set, the DUI lawyer will participate in the juror selection and naturally, stand for and defend you during the actual trial. Of course, a great many cases are resolved before they go all the way to trial.

Yes, if the DUI case you’re facing is complicated and there is a strong possibility that your case will actually go to trial, then your attorney’s quote (cost estimate) can go up to as high as $10,000 or even more. But, don’t give up just because your situation will have a cost. The alternative also comes at a cost.

Remember that if you do go to trial, the prosecution must do more than prove you “may be guilty” – they must prove that your guilt is the only reasonable conclusion based on hard evidence. So if you’re facing a DUI charge, don’t just throw up your hands and say, “Oh well, I might as well plead guilty. Remember, if you don’t seek professional DUI lawyers to protect your rights, you may face jail time.

Having an Expungement Lawyer in Alabama

If you have been charged with a crime in Alabama and you are thinking of applying for expungement, there are a number of things to consider. The process is technically complex and can be time consuming, which is why it is a good idea to work with a qualified Alabama expungement attorney. Not only will they be able to prepare your petition, they will also be able to counter any objections from the prosecution.

One of the main reasons for pursuing expungement is to remove a criminal record from your history. An arrest and a criminal record can follow you for the rest of your life. They can affect your employment, your ability to rent an apartment, and even your chances of being accepted into certain colleges.

The expungement law in Alabama is fairly strict. It is only applicable to non-violent misdemeanors and felonies. Violent crimes, including burglary, assault, and robbery, are not eligible for expungement. However, you can obtain a clean record by completing a drug treatment program or participating in a deferred prosecution program.

While you can't expunge your record in Alabama, there are certain records you can get rid of. These include traffic offenses, misdemeanors, and no-billed charges.

In order to successfully expunge a charge, you will need to file a petition and pay a fee. Depending on the county, you may have to wait months or years before you can receive your record.

Some counties have a single judge to handle all expungements. Others have a complicated system where you have to submit all of your materials to various entities.

Having a clean record can be beneficial in many ways, but you must know what you're getting into. The process is time-consuming, and a lot of red tape can be involved. Getting help from an experienced expungement lawyer can make the process run smoother and increase your chance of success.

A wise expungement lawyers o Alabama will be able to prepare a petition and get you the results you are looking for. They will be able to analyze your case and identify the best course of action. Often, the benefits of having your criminal record expunged outweigh the complexity of the process.

What we know about the Tyreek Hill allegations

Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images

The NFL announced it will not suspend Tyreek Hill.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill was under investigation by police for an alleged battery and one other alleged incident. No charges were filed and in July the NFL announced it would not suspend the receiver.

“Based on the evidence presently available, the NFL cannot conclude that Mr. Hill violated the Personal Conduct Policy,” a statement from the league reads, in part.

The Chiefs subsequently released their own statement.

According to ESPN’s Dan Graziano, the NFL previously considered putting Hill on the commissioner’s exempt list — a rare move during the offseason.

Near the end of June, Hill sat down with NFL investigators and according to Pro Football Talk, the meeting lasted eight hours.

The league previously said it was staying out of the way of the police investigation.

He was also suspended by the Chiefs from all team activities.

— 41 Action News (@41actionnews) April 26, 2019

Here’s what we know about the situation:

What was Tyreek Hill accused of?

In April, KCTV 5 reported Hill temporarily lost custody of his son as a result of the ongoing investigation.

But the investigation was reopened after KCTV aired recordings of a conversation between Hill and his fiancé an hour before the beginning of the 2019 NFL Draft, shedding new light on the abuse.

The recordings appeared to indicate that Hill was responsible for the alleged abuse of his son:

— Nate Taylor (@ByNateTaylor) April 25, 2019

Hill in the audio to Crystal Espinal: "You need to be terrified of me, too, bitch"

— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) April 25, 2019

Hill’s lawyer disputed the allegations a week after the release of the recordings, and provided text messages that he said showed a different perspective.

Tyreek: “Crystal you know I didn’t cause any bruising or harm to [our son.] But for some reason I still may be charged.”

Crystal: “I know you didn’t. I did. I hurt [our son.] I’m the one that did it. I was hurt and mad at you so I blamed you for everything.”

Hill’s lawyer called the comment that “[Espinal] should be terrified, too” inexcusable, and says that Hill wouldn’t ask him “to defend that here.”

The accusation of violence wasn’t the first for Hill, though.

Hill was arrested and charged with domestic assault and battery by strangulation in December 2014, following an incident in which he reportedly punched and choked his then-pregnant girlfriend. He pleaded guilty to the charge and was dismissed from the Oklahoma State football team before finishing his collegiate career at the University of West Alabama.

Hill completed his probation requirements and the case was expunged from his record. In a recorded conversation with Espinal, Hill denied that the 2014 incident ever happened.

What did the Chiefs say about the investigation?

Not much. The Chiefs acknowledged they were aware of the ongoing process. Head coach Andy Reid spoke about Hill, but didn’t say a lot:

— Terez A. Paylor (@TerezPaylor) March 26, 2019

Reid didn’t speak about Hill again until the Chiefs began offseason workouts in the middle of April. Hill was in attendance, and Reid was vague once again.
