A defendant is an individual or entity accused of a wrongdoing or being sued in a court of law. In criminal cases, the defendant is the person charged with a crime, while in civil cases, the defendant is the party being sued by another party, known as the plaintiff. The defendant has the right to defend themselves against the allegations and is presumed innocent until proven guilty in criminal cases.

How long does the plaintiff have to respond to the defedant request fro discovery?
The plaintiff typically has 30 days to respond to a defendant's request for discovery, although this timeframe can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the specific rules of the court. In some cases, parties may agree to extend this deadline. It's important for the plaintiff to check the applicable rules or consult with their attorney to ensure compliance with the timeline.
Can you plea youthful offender on a felony even if you have already plead youthful offender on a misdemeanor If so what is the age limit in Alabama?
A Defedant may be allowed to plead youthful offender in Alabama if the person is under the age of 21 at the time the criminal offense was committed. An adjudication of youthful offender is not a criminal conviction and will not appear on your history as such. Youthful offender files are confidential records. You may apply for youthful offender status in any case whether it be the smallest misdemeanor like a speeding ticket of the most heinous felonies such as murder. However, it is discretionary with the judge as to whether or not you are granted youthful offender status. I do not recall those with felonies such as murder being granted youthful offender status. You may apply for youthful offender status in a felony case although you were previously adjudicated a youthful offender in a prior misdemeanor case. However, as I mentioned, it is entirely up to the judge as to whether or not he allows you a subsequent adjudication as a youthful offender. Hope this helped.
