Hey all, I need some legal advice. I was charged with 3rd degree trespassing in a building by the Real Estate Agency. Anyway, I just found out that the Real Estate company that is charging me no longer owns the building where I was 'charged'. Does this change anything at all? My court date is next month and I'm about to call my lawyer and tell him this.

Another question I have is how do I find out if someone is pressing charges against me. I was told by my lawyer that they offered me a plea bargain for 60 days jailtime. I want to know if it was the detective filing these charges or if it was the people who got me arrested are the ones pressing charges.

First, if the real estate company owned the building when you allegedly trespassed, then yes they can be party to the charges.
Second, talk to your lawyer about who is actually bringing the charges. It doesn't sound like the real estate people... they would be looking for costs plus a trespass notice, not jail time. A district attorney (or other government official) would look for jail time.

Thanks for the response, but is there anything else I can do to get this case thrown out? They're assembling a jury to listen to this bullshit case. Literally, the police report says, "I was sitting in a room with my laptop". They said the door was locked even though it wasn't (how else was I able to get in?)
