What can I do if the DOJ hasn't cleared me yet for my misdemeanor DUI about 3 years ago?

Criminal Law lawyer at Lawrence Lewis, P.C.
Please what? You will wait for the clearance until DOJ has done what they need to do. Next time don't drink and drive, AND then fail to show up in court.

What can I do to get the DA exposed and the charge?

Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
By lodging a protest with the judge, DA office, and defense attorney, you have done everything reasonable to complain. You have no apparent grounds for any legal action against the DA, as they, like all government agents and agencies, are immune from any such lawsuits unless you can conclusively prove the agent intentionally willfully abused and exceeded his legal authority, intending to violate your constitutional rights and harm you. That is not what you described. He may not have done what you want, and may have used you to get a conviction, and may have made mistakes or been negligent, but that is not the grounds for you to sue. The defendant's attorney may be able to use something in an appeal or other legal action, but that is up to him.

If two people were charged with a crime and already started court proceedings, can a third be charged now?

If they think they have sufficient evidence to charge you, yes they can. Additional defendants are often added to cases after they have been filed. They would have to either add you to their case or file a separate case against you and make a motion to join them. Aside from the procedural issues, it's time for a lawyer. You're now wrapped up in a serious felony case. Time for a lawyer. Until then, make NO statements about this to anyone.
