Alaska Statutes Legislative Intent

Summary

Understanding the legislative intent of AS 17.30.080 and AS 11.71.030 involves reviewing legislative history, records, and legal commentary. Prosecutors in Alaska cannot directly use a regulation statute to charge under a criminal statute but can use it to support charges. In case 3AN-20-01853CR, the prosecutor would establish a violation of controlled substance regulations and charge under the criminal statute. Without evidence or probable cause, as admitted in a mistrial, the case may be weak. Consider consulting a lawyer for potential dismissal of charges.

Full Conversation

Can a prosecutor use the regulation statute to charge a criminal statute?
In Alaska, a prosecutor cannot directly use a regulation statute (like AS *.*.*) to charge someone under a criminal statute (like AS *.*.*). However, they can use the regulatory framework to support the criminal charges. The regulatory statute sets the groundwork for what is considered illegal, and the criminal statute outlines the penalties for those illegal actions.

In the case 3AN-*-01853CR, if the prosecutor is using these statutes, they would be establishing that the controlled substance regulations were violated (under AS *.*.*) and then charging the defendant with a criminal offense (under AS *.*.*).

No. I have looked but have not found any way that they could charge criminally for an alleged professional licensing violation without any victims or complainants?
Case Rating: *
In Alaska, for a criminal charge related to professional licensing violations, the prosecutor usually needs to show that there was misconduct or violation of the law. Even without direct victims or complainants, evidence of the violation itself can be enough.
- AS *.*.*: Authority of the licensing board to take disciplinary action.
- AS *.*.*: Misconduct involving controlled substances in the third degree.
Would you like more details on how these statutes interact in your specific situation?
The client has not had a disciplinary action. It is unclear how a dispensation statute is remotely related to the possibility that there may have been a regulatory violation?
Case Rating: *
It sounds like you're dealing with a situation where there's confusion about the connection between a regulatory statute and potential criminal charges. Here's some concise information:
- Regulatory statutes (like AS *.*.*) set the groundwork for what is considered illegal.
- Criminal statutes (like AS *.*.*) outline the penalties for those illegal actions.
The prosecutor uses the regulatory framework to support criminal charges. If there hasn't been a disciplinary action, it may be challenging to establish a direct link to criminal charges without evidence of a violation.
Is there a specific detail about the case that you're unsure of?
So what you are saying is that using the regulatory framework is enough to prosecute without witnesses or evidence of wrongdoing. What if?
Case Rating: *
In the context of professional licensing violations, using the regulatory framework alone without witnesses or direct evidence can be challenging for prosecution. However, if there is documented evidence of misconduct, it could potentially support criminal charges.
To better understand your situation, could you provide more details about the alleged violation or any specific actions taken by the prosecutor?
The prosecutor doesn't have any evidence and the investigation team admitted already at first trial which resulted in a mistrial anyway, that she did not have probable cause to investigate during her grand jury testimony and her trial testimony.
Case Rating: *
Given that the prosecutor lacks evidence and the investigation team admitted there was no probable cause, this case seems to be weak. However, you might want to consult a lawyer to explore the possibility of dismissing the charges entirely.
Would you like more detailed guidance on how to proceed with this case?
No thank you.
Case Rating: *
It sounds like the case may not be strong due to the lack of evidence and the issues with probable cause during the investigation. If you change your mind or need more assistance, feel free to reach out.
