To make a long story short. I was convicted of a property crime (theft) from an incident in 2004 and was released on parole in 2006. An old business partner filed a complaint with the police department alleging I stole money from her. The thing is I was a joint owner in the business and we litigated this previously in civil court and I won. I believe the only reason this happened now is that she is trying to get me in trouble to get me sent back to prison. I admit what I did wrong and am trying to just work and take care of my wife and 6 year old daughter. Even though I know this is all bogus should I be scared? I am just looking for some sort of precedence in this matter or advice. (after reviewing state law the statue of limitation is even expired on the charge). Any helps or comments would be great.

even if you were charged and convicted of the alledged offence above this was before you were granted parole. you can only be sent back to prison if you break the conditions of your parole part of which you agreed to make no FURTHER infringements of the law-this is to say they cannot drag up anything that happened before you were granted parole. also as it was ligitated in the civil courts which you won-she should have filed the complaint then-not now. it will seem like sour grapes to any judge (if she can find one that will preside over her complaint-unlikely). i beleive everyone should be given a clean break and i wish you and your family all the luck in the world-and don't be naughty again please.

if you already won a litigation in civil court i doubt if the matter will have any effect on youre current parole status. but it would be a good idea to seek the advice of an attorney. most of them will talk to you for free just for an initial consultation.

if the old charge was before your other conviction it will not affect it. you may get another probation charge or whatever, but it shouldnt affect the other charge
