Escalon, CA Criminal Defense Law Firms & Lawyers

We cannot answer this question without knowing all of the details. Lawyers deal in the facts and the law, without the facts we cannot apply the law. We have no idea what the charges might be or what the facts are. In addition we do not know the defendants prior record. Each case is different and each case demands the personalized attention of an experienced attorney. You cannot really expect an answer without providing all of the facts necessary to give an answer. In addition, you even say you are just curious. So, it is not a real life situation, a real criminal case against you about which you must have information.

Well, you don't do anything until and unless either new charges or a revocation petition is filed. It is most unusual for a case to get rejected in a battery on a police officer situation. It could be that the case was sent back for further investigation to fill in a few holes that the prosecutor saw in the case. When that happens, the case is re-submitted after the investigation is supplemented, and charges can be filed at that time. You might consider hiring a lawyer to monitor this situation for you. She/he can be in touch with the prosecutor and/or investigator to see what the status of the case/investigation is, and advise you accordingly.
