Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

Verbally Binding
I'm not sure if I understand the question but I'll take a stab at it. If the party that directly caused the property damage settled with the victim, then I don't think the District Attorney's office is going to be interested in pursuing charges against someone who was indirectly involved. But, as with most things, this depends on the facts.

It is one of those grey area deals where I was probably at fault for an incident that happened but its iffy.

ANYWAY
The person who owned said property had agreed to settle over the phone. I believe I said somthing they found unsatisfactory after they had accepted and then broke off all ties with me.

I believe that since they accepted and then threw a temper tantrum that the original agreement still stands. As far as I am concerned I am still waiting for payment instructions and the charge is completely invalid and its because ,again, they agreed to a settlement, I don't think the District Attorney's office knows that they had agreed to a settlement (they might have left that little detail out).

Thanks again for looking

Re: Verbally Binding

Well, it's a "he said, she said" type of case anyway. D.A.s usually don't like those.
