Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
The DA filed a complaint in the superior court alleging that I violated two misdemeanors, resisting arrest and court order violation. At my arraignment, 5 days after the DA filed the complaint, it was discovered I had a third misdemeanor charged against me, which was assigned a different case number but has remained concurrent with the case for the resisting arrest and court order violation charges. Does state statutory or case law prohibit the DA from adding an additional misdemeanor charge after filing a complaint or would I have to argue the court erred by overlooking court record?
1 Answer from Attorneys
The DA has not made any mistake, and is free to amend the complaint and add charges. I suggest you stop engaging in do it yourself research on the internet and get yourself a criminal defense attorney.
