Legal Question
My boyfriend was caught stealing prescription meds from his workplace, and was arrested and charged with theft (1 misdemeanor) and trafficking (2 felonies). For some reason, the state decided to charge him with the misdemeanor theft and he is going to court for that charge. But the state failed to file the 2 felony charges after 30 days, and his public defender said if they didn't file the charges for the felonies, they probably won't, but they have 5 months to file the charges on the felonies if they want to. What I'm wondering is why wouldn't the state file the felony charges, and is it likely they will later? Thanks in advance.
