Q: How can a so called charge from the seventys hold up a arrainment hearing no related.

I'm 61 in real trouble for first time in my life. I'm told back in 70's I had a charge for something to do with stealing property out of a car. First I've heard of it so I told them just that. My current sentencing has been delayed until more info fount saying I was charged . There isn't anything to find because it never happened as far as my memory . for 7 mths they been looking for such record . they are looking to hand me a harder sentence for current issue and won't give up. How is this possible?

A: You must have this conversation with your attorney; no one in this forum has any idea who told you about, "back in 70's (there was) a charge for something to do with stealing property out of a car". Good luck.
