Re: help

It is difficult to predict whether they will see the new charge or not. The new charge needs to be filed and recorded in the computer system. Then the first court needs to check the computer system for an update. At some point, the prosecutor's office will notice it and bring your boyfriend to account for it. The report will likely say there was a passenger. Whether it does or not, his mother can appear and explain the situation. Either way, the judge will likely say they both should have called a taxi. If he needs further help with either case, contact me directly.
