    Unhappy Burglary

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: CA

    My Partner might be charged with 1st degree Burglary in Southern Cail. She had broke into her fathers home and her father called the cops, and now she is in Jail waiting court. She already has a DV case and is on informal probation. Her father is dropping the charges cause it was all a miss understanding. I do happen to know that the DA will charge as well but with his willing to drop all the charges will it make it better for her? and what would she most likely be looking at as in time? I do know as well she will get 30days for violating her informal probation as well over what she did.

    Default Re: Burglary

    Her father can drop the charges but the DA's office can proceed without him; The State of California v. Your Partner; her father is no longer part of the suit. Also since she was on probation for another conviction, she could be found in violation of that probation and serve her original sentence, plus the additional sentence of burglary if she is convicted.

    She needs a good criminal defense attorney. If she cannot afford one, she pleads Not Guilty at her arraignment and requests a public defender.
