Re: Assult
It's called an "amended complaint" They can do it. Which is also the answer to "why do they do it?" The "plea bargain" is no bargain. The plea they seek is "guilty." nothing else. Take the deal and plead guilty if you want, but it doesn't matter what evidence they have. It will never see daylight and your case will never be tested if you plead.
