My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida
I'm not familiar with the legal system at all - so any help would really ease my mind.
My friend is out on bond and has a pre-arraignment hearing tomorrow. He's hired a lawyer who says he does not have to appear.
But the rules of the bond says he DOES, am I missing something? Or is this normal?
Thanks for any advice.
FYI - It's a misdemeanor charge from out outstanding Battery/DV warrant from 05 - that was already resolved a year ago. But the paperwork was never filed...
