Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia
I got charged with pettie larceny. I've had 2 convictions in the past, one about 10 years ago. When the police ran my record, only one showed up. Can I be recharged wtih a felony,if they missed over the one charge? Is it because it was so long ago that it just didn't show up?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Sure, you could be charged or recharged as the incuclating facts in the
indictment may strongly suggest as matters go along.
However, if you have a scintilla of sumise that the majority might
have gottin' it wrong, you could then lodge an appeal in the the matter.
