Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Hi I was arrested back in January of this year with a felony for having my own prescription in an unmarked bottle. Court has been continued 4 times for my public defender to receive my medical records and as if yesterday I went back to court for the 5th time and the court finally did receive my medical records proving that I did have a prescription for the pills. The state dropped the felony down to a misdemeanor but the court has ordered me to have supervision with random drug testing that I have to pay for for a year. Shouldn't the felony charge just have been dropped all together? Do I have a case? Help

It was dropped. You could have fought the misdemeanor but it sounds like you chose not to. You should ask your attorney if there is anything else you can do at this phase of your case.
