What exactly does "criminal charges won't be filed" mean?

Answered by attorney Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Francis John Cowhig
The phrase "criminal charges won't be filed" means just what it says. For whatever reason, the D.A. chose not to accept the case for criminal prosecution. This is usually called a "D.A. Reject". Keep this letter with you at all times in case the D.A. changes their mind and decides to file. With regards to the court date, you probably do not need to worry about it. However, to be on the safe side, I suggest that you go to court on the date of your hearing and check with the clerk's office to be sure that criminal charges have not been filed.

How can I defend myself from a DUI if my friend was driving?

Answered by attorney Joseph A Katz (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Joseph A. Katz Attorney at Law PLC
You drove to where you parked and slept, didn't you?! Is your friend going to spring up and say, "Wait! No! Hey! I was driving, not my innocent Budrow there!" If not, you have problems. Can you prove that you drank after you drove (i.e., after you parked)? I really hate to see the cheesy District Attorney file this crap, after the cheesy cops made the fraudulent arrest. On the other hand... You have no witness, apparently, and you were "somehow" sleeping in the driver's seat (yeah, right). I mean, how could your friend "drive" if you were sleeping in the driver's seat. I do not know what else to tell you, my friend, but you need an evidence make-over.

Is it possible to have a new charge added to the original charge?

Police arrest you then send a report to the DA. The DA decides what charges to file. So yes the DA can add additional charges
