Can I be re-arraigned and recharged if I was indicted and somehow later on I was accidentally released from the county jail on dismissed charges?

Answered by attorney Jonathan S. Willett
Criminal Law lawyer at Jonathan S. Willett Attorney at Law
The issue you raise here is called the prohibition against twice being place in jeopardy for the same offense ("double jeopardy"). Unfortunately, under most circumstances, charges can be dismissed and re-filed. If a case lasts until a trial and the jury is sworn into service, a dismissed case cannot be re-tried. Under some circumstances in which a case is dismissed for a lack of evidence it cannot be re-filed. However, if it is just a mistake, the case can be re-filed up until the time that the statute of limitations has run.

Can I own a weapon if my wife was charged with a class 4 felony?

Answered by attorney Jonathan S. Willett
Criminal Law lawyer at Jonathan S. Willett Attorney at Law
You can own the weapon. If your wife is convicted of the felony, she cannot possess the weapon. It is best to keep the gun out of the house, but if you have no other place, keep it stored in a gun safe and do not allow her to have the combination or key.
