I could use some guidance from the PPOT braintrust
How would a private citizen go about getting court records on a homicide that occurred in Palmdale, Ca. back in 1995 ?

Likely you will need to hire a private detective or an attorney with a legal assistant in Palmdale and have them go to the courthouse.

If it was anything federal, you can do a Freedom of Information Act search. First two hours (I believe) are at no cost.
I tried this for a federal case back in the 1920's. It was worthless, FYI. My personal research was more productive in less time. On this subject. I have seen a newspaper account of a federal conviction and appeal. Nothing about the status of the appeal case or if any time was served. I would very much like to know the answer. Anybody have a tip? |

You should be able to get copies from the court's clerk's office. Find out as much as you can on the court's website, like the case number, as the people working the clerks office are usually about at friendly as Seinfeld's soup nazi.
Not an attorney, but helped a friend dig up some old court records a while back.

https://oag.ca.gov/contact/publicrecords_form
https://www.nfoic.org/california-sample-foia-request/ Freedom Of Information Act, request public records. In NJ it's called OPRA request for state/local records. I'm guessing CA has an equivilent.

Most states have an offender or inmate search. If you know the defendant's name you can find out if they are incarcerated. Oregon has one:

My person was in Washington in the 1920's...
Didn't have a lot of computers back then. |
