Asking for the charges of insurance fraud, ppp loan fraud, falsely claiming to have a college degree, not reporting all income from a business, and driving drunk with a minor in the vehicle.
Generally speaking, prosecution of cases do not happen that way…I would however remind readers that state attorneys are elected officials (politicians) and they can be lobbied by people.
Rehearing are filed with the clerk of the court in which the decision was made…copies should be provided to opposing counsel and the court.
