I'm from Ohio, and I had a few questions on my theft (F-5) criminal charge.
Charge: CRIMINAL COMPLAINT FILED ON OR ABOUT 6/17/07,me; DID, WITH PURPOSE TO DEPRIVE other people, THE OWNERS, OF PROPERTY OR SERVICES, TO-WIT: A CHASE VISA CREDIT CARD, OR KNOWINGLY OBTAINED OR EXERTED CONTROL OVER SAID PROPERTY OR SERVICES: WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF the other people, THE OWNERS, OR PERSON AUTHORIZED TO GIVE CONSENT; O.R.C. 2913.02(A)(1) F-5, local PD.
My buddy spent around 20,000 on this card, but 5 of my friends were involved. Our local P.D. wasnt looking who spent it, just who took it, since the card was spent out of state. I got charged, I guess they found no proof I did it..?.. and charged the other 4 with the F-5 theft. Four prelimary hearings and 7 months later all five of our lawyers called thier bluff, and filed for a motion to dismiss the charges this morning. Judge accepted, case dismissed. Now, what I hear is that was a bad thing.. that now I could be indited by a grand jury.. go to trial.. whatever comes along with that. I'm lost here, what happens now?
