    Best case is your counsel can negotiate the misdemeanor to an infraction. Worst is probably 3 years probation with court costs etc and classes. Either way, speak to counsel.

    If you are in Victorville, I am guessing it was one of two legitimate reasons. The first Court had a long prelim calendar or your prelim was estimated to take up too much of the first court's time. I cannot conjecture past those scenarios. Ask your attorney why the musical chairs?

    3X denied does not bode well. However, speak to local counsel about using a PI for the victim's recant of testimony. It appears to be the only avenue of recourse.

    Whether you are in Central Santa Ana, South Court or Westminster, merely go to the criminal clerk and say you want to do a walk-in. It may take a bit to pull your file. Best to have counsel with you.
