What is the name of your state? California
A friend of mine was arrested and charged with grand theft last December. He was not interviewed, and was not even told until the next day what he was being charged with. He spent 1 night in jail, and was released. He was told the charges were dropped, and received a letter saying he was not arrested, he was only detained. There were so many things done wrong by the man who filed the charges, I can't even list them all.
He just received a letter in the mail from the courts saying he has an office hearing. He is very confused as to what this is about, as he was under the impression the charges were dropped, and hasn't heard a word about this since December.
I'm sure it isn't "Double Jeopardy", but can he be charged with the same thing twice?
Is there anything he can do to prepare?
Please help.
