- Q. Paid $7k on parents card I had used but mom used as well, can they still turn me into police?
- A: The agreement you had with your parents is unenforceable at law even if you fully complied. If they go to the police, you will probably be charged with felony theft - credit card fraud - etc. Consult a local lawyer before you decide to "test" them. HMS
- Q. Why would one of my two felony identity theft identical warrants be dropped and sealed at my first appearance on that ca
- A: The only logical answer is they accidentally double filed the same case and corrected their mistake using the procedure you outlined.
- Q. Will only a written statement hold up in the preliminary hearing if the alleged victim doesn't show up?
- A: The alleged victim almost never testifies at a Preliminary Hearing. The district attorney almost always calls one maybe two witnesses, usually the Detective who filed the case and one of the original responding police officers. The testimony consists primarily of a review of the investigation and the statements of witnesses. The rules of evidence are greatly relaxed and hearsay testimony is permitted.
To answer your question - a written statement of the alleged victim is admissible at a "prelim"- but not at trial. The witness is required to testify at trial.
