My question involves criminal law for the state of: California.
I was charged Battery in 2005 as well as Disturbing the Peace. My problem is that I am unsure of what I should do. I was the victim in the incident, yet the guy that hit me stated I hit him. As far as I know there was no physical edvidence that I hit him, however there was evidence that he hit me, as I had a split lip. At the preliminary hearing, I was ordered to be booked at my home town by the judge and was told not to have any contact with him at all while he had nothing but to keep out of contact with me. According to what I have found out, I am not able to possess a firearm for ten years after the incident. I am not sure if that still applies due to the fact that the charges were dropped in the interest of justice. What should I do, and is there any chance that I can get my record expunged?![]()
