I got in alot of trouble 3 years ago and i got 3 felony's. a class c,d, and e and 3 misdemeanors. the day of my inditement they forget my file at their office so the judge had no choice but to give me the lowest sentence he could because they had nothing. i was looking at 9- 15 years federal. i was put on probation for 3 years. well 6 months before i was suppose to be done with probation i got in trouble again for giving a false statement to the police. i got violated by my probation officer on top of my new charges. so my old charges came back, on top of my new 2 charges on top of a violation. ny state maximum sentencing for all i was charged with was 40 years.
The judge amended (changed) the 3 felony charges to 1 class A misdemeanor. giving me a lesser sentence of 30 days in county jail, and the 2 new charges..... i plead guilty to
(doing do was part of my bargain to get the amendment) giving me another 30 days in county, but the judge said i could do them concurrent to each other which mean instead of 60 days they are putting them on top of each other so i only have to do 30 days. 20 days if good behavior.
now to the answer........
when your indited or the judge makes his final decision he will give you a paper with your charges and convictions on it. it will say "original charges" which is what you were originally charged with and IF they were amended there will be a place on that paper that says "amended charges" which mean the original charges have been turned into the CONVICTED (final decision) amended charges. like me.
so i dont have any felonies on my back but i do have 1 class A misdemeanor and 2 class C misdemeanor on my record.
What does it mean when the judge amended your charge.
A TCIS amended charge typically means that the judge is also throwing in another offense with your original offense. This is a common court house code.
An amended charge is a charge that has been altered from its original form. For instance if driving under the influence is the original charge but the outcome has the amended charge of reckless driving.
When you were placed on probation the judge required a specific restriction on your probation. It was subsequently changed, thus your condtion of probation was "amended."
What is a common ERROR, or what is a common RESULT?A common result of a defective charge is that the judge may well dismiss the defective charge WITHOUT PREJUDICE, which gives the prosecution the opportunity to re-file the proper (or amended) charge if they wish to do so.
what is jury instructions in a federal negligence action/
Someone who can work but a judge may sentence them to weekends in jail from another charge. It is not the actual charge but a sentence.
The judge.
Yes. If the grounds for the arrest were lawful to begin with, the actual charge can be changed or amended at a later time.
The judge doesn't charge defendants. The judge presides over a trial when a defendant is charged by the prosecuting attorney.
Section 24140(a) of the California Vehicle Code is a charge of Driving Under the Influence by a Minor. When the blood alcohol is over .05% the charge may be amended to another section.
The judge is in charge of enforcing laws
i believe it if affirmative that it is a judge who is in charge of a trial
