Defendent was arrested in another state on a Fugitive Charge because an arrest warrant was issued for his arrest from Los Angeles, California. The six charges were serious felonies...fraud, grand larceny, etc. Prior to extradition hearing, within 2 weeks of the hearing, the charges in California were all dropped and the fugitive warrant was then dimissed as well.
Questions:
1. If California believed Defendent was guilty enough for them to file such serious charges against him, why would they drop all charges prior to Extradition hearing and have Defendent released?
2. Can state that arrested him and seized items in his home as evidence hold the property? If so, for how long? Can any of these items be used to file charges against Defendent?
Thanks for your help...
