Violation of Pretrial Release Case Dropped

Case Number: 2023-MM-007390-A-O
County: Orange

The State accused the Client of violating pretrial release and an injunction by contacting the victim, even though communication “regarding or about the children” was specifically allowed. The Client’s text simply asked the victim to inform James Smith where the Client was taking the children for an upcoming trip abroad. Attorney moved to dismiss the case, noting that Judge Madrigal had already ruled in the Client’s open felony case that similar messages were permitted because they were “about the children.” Before the hearing, the State dropped the case, fully clearing the Client of the allegation.
