My wife was picked up on a violation of probation. She received new charges during the arrest (simple possession). At arraignment the state and or judge wanted to amend the original violation to include the new charges and rescheduled arraignment for the 27th.
BTW she filed them at the police station bc I have had no contact with her whatsoever and she is not allowed on my property but they came looking for me at my house.
I was convicted of a felony that was lowered to a misdemeanor in January of 2019. I am eligible for expungement 5 years from completion of the sentence. I was sentenced to 11/29 suspended to time served. Does the 5 years start from the date my sentence was suspended to time served, or does it begin... Read more »

You'd be wise to call the attorney that issued the subpoena and have a discussion about it.

Show Cause Order is not unlawful, and is used in many different cases. If you received one, be prepared to put on proof.

Probably a VOP. Call your Probation Officer today, or go see him. Explain what happened and be prepared to show medical records. If violated, do not plead guilty but try it.

Those are serious charges, worse than some Felonies. Hire an attorney to get it Diverted, Dismissed and Expunged. Jail is the least of your worries if you are convicted.

There is no time limit. The Defendant should have considered the other Charge prior to making Bond for another Charge. Under many circumstances, he threw his money away unless he can dispose of the second Charge.
And I have to be there tomorrow it was sent by mail

That is an Order of the Court for you to testify in Court. That means you tell the truth, which does not necessarily help the DA.
The judge retired on 8/31 without issuing the judge and reset it off until 9/15 can he lawfully still rule on this or will it be left for the new judge to make a ruling?
N do they get the jail credits they have already done on that charge
