Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

hi, i had asked you earlier if i was arrested 2yrs. ago the case was noll processed (not guilty or guilty)and just recently got arrested with the same exact charges but they up filed to worse charges. could the state attorney use it against me? you said no, but what about the reverse williams rule law florida statues ch. 90 404 a. and b. witch states that basically they can bring up my pasted seeing as how it is the same motive so can the state bring my past up at trial and use it against me? you also said that they couldn't bring it up at my bond hearing and they did. another question is after 7months with no plee the state finally offered me 5yrs. prison +5yrs.probation i haven't gone to trial and have another status check in a month can the state lower the plee they offered the day before we go to trial? and how likly is it that they would do that?

They can always lower the plea. The other charge is not admissable because there was no conviction.
