My friend had a domestic 5 years ago, did time, classes and probation... just got arrested for the same thing in a different county, but no domestic on record. can they give more charges if they find out?

It sounds as though your question is that 5 years ago he(?) was arrested and charged with a domestic but now that he's been arrested for another domestic the first isn't coming up on his record and you want to know if the police find out that there was an initial domestic can they change the charges (that was a total run-on sentence!) Enhanced penalties for domestics vary from state to state so I can't tell you what would happen and it depends on what point his(?) regardless he should really speak to a lawyer regarding his case. But check out the website below it has most of the dv laws for the country.
Its none of my buisness but I've gotta say if he's been arrested for domestics twice is that the type of person you want as a friend?

the unique sentence replaced right into a warning from the prefer to on no account do this returned, expecially in the time of the subsequent six months. you probably did it returned. What you have finished right here isn't any longer basically violated the Texas theft criminal accountability Act, you have additionally violated the particular and direct order of the courtroom. The choose will resentence you on the 1st shoplifting, considering which you probably did no longer finished the probation, he will sentence you in addition to mght for the probation violation, and he will sentence you for the 2d shoplifting. My wager is which you're finding at 6 - 365 days in penitentiary, and probable one thousand greenback effective. -Stuart

Of course they can charge someone with another crime. The first will not have any effect on the trial, but they can use it in sentencing, and it will shouw up when they do a police criminal history, they show all arrests, even if not convicted.

It will come up as prior bad acts and can be used against him to show that he has had previous arrests for this type of thing. It won't help the current case, but they aren't going to add more charges.

The other case will not be considered as an aggravating offense if not found out by the court trying the latter case.

ex: if he beat his wife, and spent time for it, then he got arrested on the same case, then no. but, if he beat her another time, yes. he can be charged again as a separate offense.
