Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
Felony arrest
My daughter was arrest on a felony charge of domestic abuse. When we went to court she did not go before a judge and was sent to the D.A's office and there was given a slip of paper to give to the bail bonds and that was that. Does this mean she was not charged for anything yet still has a felony arrest against her? Thank you

Re: Felony arrest
Read the slip of paper given by the DA. Does it say they rejected the case? Sounds like that indeed was the case but no one other than you or your daughter can check on that.
If no charges are filed, there should not be any felony arrest record as the arrest will be deemed to be detention only.

Re: Felony arrest
Read ths slip of paper. If the slip of paper is just to prove to your bailbond representative that you were in court when you were supposed to be then your daughter may still be charged. If the paper says the D.A.'s office has declined to pursue charges then she's fine. The D.A.'s office has up to the statute of limitations to file charges, which is, at a minimum, one year.
