A:
It sounds like there's an issue with the accuracy of the police reports and criminal complaints regarding your boyfriend. If the last name on these documents is incorrect, this could potentially impact his case and his defense. It's important to address this error promptly to ensure that his rights are protected and that the legal proceedings are fair.
You should contact his attorney immediately to inform them of this discrepancy. The attorney can then take the necessary steps to correct the mistake. This might involve filing a motion with the court to amend the records or bringing the issue to the attention of the prosecuting attorney and the judge.
In the meantime, gather any documentation you have that verifies your boyfriend's correct last name. This can include IDs, birth certificates, or other official documents. Present these to his attorney to support your claim and help expedite the correction process.
