That depends completely on who is prosecuting the case. Some prosecutors will dismiss a case based on the wishes of the complainant while others will not. You should consult with an attorney who is familiar with whoever is handling this matter for more detailed advice.

What am I looking at if I was convicted and on probation for attempted burglary and was recently caught with paraphernalia and possession?

If you are charged with a new crime while on probation, then it is likely that you will be facing a stiff sanction, which can include jail. You may also be looking at jail/prison with charges stemming from this new incident. I would recommend he gets an attorney immediately so they can begin to prepare his defense as a lot is hanging in the balance with this new charge.

Can my son be questioned by police without my consent about an incident between his step dad and uncle?

Answered by attorney Paul J. Wallin
Criminal Law lawyer at Wallin & Klarich, A Law Corporation
Unfortunately the law in California continues to be that the police can question a minor without the consent of his parent to question the minor about possible involvement in a crime. The parent is not even legally required to be present or even notified in advance. This is shocking but true. Last year the California legislature passed a law that would have changed this law but Governor Brown vetoed it. The police have a tremendous amount of power including the power to question your children at school or anywhere they find them without notifying you.
