A:
more info needed.
you need to make an appointment with a local criminal lawyer asap....I am in Palm Springs area
why have you waited a year?
there is a term in law......Laches.......which means if you sit on your rights you can lose them.
I would prepare a detailed summary to give to a lawyer so that they don't have to wait for you to recall everything.
