Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Normally one can only be charged in 1 county for a charge arising out of the same facts. Also normally only 1 county would have jurisdiction over a matter that occured in their county. A county can not normally bring a criminal charge for a crime occuring in another county. I would have to hear more to see exactly what is going on here. You may contact me during normal working hours at 661-2671313 so that I may hear all the facts. Best wishes....David Wallin

No. IF it is actually the identical charges arising out of the same incident, then one of them can be dismissed. Hire an attorney and have him make the proper motions, then defend the one that is correct. If you don't know how to do these things, then hire an attorney that does, who will try to get a decent outcome for you through either a plea bargain or take the case to trial. If serious about doing so, feel free to contact me.
