What actually happens when one fails to show up for jury duty in LA County?
I had my jury duty scheduled for tomorrow, only to be given a new date which is this Monday coming but not sure if I would be able to make it. If I end up missing it is there a way I can avoid being penalized or get another chance to reschedule? What can I do in this case to overcome the problem and address work responsibilities I have?

Hi there, I am a 19 year old student who was recently arrested for the possession of marijuana and paraphernalia. In my particular case should I go and seek a lawyer and is the conditional discharge a good enough for me option?
I procured approximately one and a half gram of Marijuana along with a mason jar and cardboard tube used for dryer sheets, that’s why charge was filed for possession of Marijuana and Paraphernalia. I never had any arrests before, this is the first time I’m violating the law. I know that there is such a thing as conditional discharge but I am yet to be convicted so I am not sure if this is good for me. I also do not know if one has to hire a I also do not know if one has to hire a criminal defense lawyer to take the legal route, and if so, how much it would cost as a college student. Under such circumstances I am confused as to how to proceed and if a lawyer is needed to protect what’s to come in the future.

Once, I went to a massage parlor, contrary to my expectations, the masseuse gave me an happy ending massage. Since I used my credit card I am concerned—will police arrest me in case the place is raided?
At first, when I went to the massage parlor, I only wanted to get a massage and to relax, but then things changed and I got more than what I had bargained for. Subconsciously, I decided to use my credit card for the payment of the service offered. At the moment I find myself very worried that the parlor might have taped us or may be they are next to be busted. I am sorry for what happened and will not do it again but the consequences that may come out of all this scare the hell out of me.
