Understanding Secret Indictments

Summary

A dismissed case doesnt prevent new charges if new evidence or different charges are presented. Disrupting public service could be a separate issue from the dismissed domestic violence charge. If phone calls proving innocence are missing, request a thorough search or file a motion to compel their release. If a public defender isnt adequately representing you, consider seeking a second opinion. Legal assistance is crucial, especially if charges could lead to imprisonment. In small towns, finding affordable legal help can be challenging, but exploring all options is essential.

I had an incident involving a girlfriend with known mental health issues, who was having a crisis moment, I was charged with domestic violence, that was proven to be a misunderstanding and the case was dismissed. Later I received a secret indictment from the state for disrupting a public service, stemming from that incident. Why am I being charged for an incident that was dismissed
