Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
Between Two Counties
I am on felony probation in two counties:
San Benito & Santa Clara.
I have just been arrested for driving with a suspended license in San Benito County.
My question is, will I be tried for this current violation in both counties or just one of the two? If I am tried in both counties, would that be, like being tried twice for the same crime.

Re: Between Two Counties
You will be tried on the dui charge in San Benito County where the driving occurred. However the dui is also a violation of your probation. The probation violation can be prosecuted in both counties.
Re: Between Two Counties
You cannot be tried twice for the same crime, that is double jeopardy. Please contact my office at 310/277-1707 if you would like us to represent you on these matters.
