Legal Answers
- Q. In a felony burglury case in Florida, Hernando County on the docket my case has filed, State Motion to RCO?
- A: RCO in Hernando means Re-Commitment Order. This is typically filed by the State Attorney when a person who is out on bond commits a new offense, thus violating their bond conditions. RCO's if granted result in the bond being revoked on the original case and a No Bond status being instituted. This means you sit in jail until the original case is resolved. This is a possible meaning but not necessarily the case in your situation
- Q. if you admit to doing an act after they already got someone for it (petty theft) can you still get in trouble for it?
- A: If you admit to a crime you can be prosecuted for it unless the Statute of Limitations has run. The State will have to have evidence that a crime occurred before that admission would be admissible. You never want to see an innocent person prosecuted for something they didn't do, however your son should attempt to retain a local lawyer before admitting to anything.
- Q. If I have an open case but caught another charge an my bond was revoke would i be able to get another bond
- A: In most jurisdictions, no. One of the conditions of bond is that you not commit any new crimes. The new charge will violate the conditions of bond on the old case. The State or the Judge on their own motion can request a revocation of the bond on the first case. You are going to need to speak to an attorney in the jurisdiction where this is taking place.
