Writing a bad check usually is not a crime. Almost everyone I know who has a checking account has bounced one or two at some point in time. It's usually just a mistake.
It turns into a theft when the writer writes a check on a closed account or an account that the writer knows does not have the money to cover the check. Then it becomes a theft or fraud case.
The number of checks does not matter, one is sufficient.
Since most bad checks are usually just turned over to some collection agency, your friend probably wrote the checks on a closed account.
As to the dates on the court docket; are you asking about the date of the trial? it sometimes just takes a long time to get a case to trial. Or are the dates of the checks wrong. If that is so, some clerk screwed up but that won't help your friend. I am sure the case report has the correct dates.

If you knowingly write a check on a closed or suspended account, you have committed in most states what is called Production of a Fraudulent Instrument. That is a federal crime and that person's name goes to the FBI and if it is bad enough charges will be filed.

According to the circumstances of the case. It can be considered as theft if there is probable cause to believe that she knew the checks were bad, or it is a repeated offense.

Sounds like your friend has a problem and needs help!! It's theft because she knew the cheques were bad and she bought something knowing this. That's theft, because she never really paid for it. Maybe the proceedings start this year for the trial. that's why it's dated this year.

If it bounced, she did no longer have the money in her account on the time to conceal the verify. She would have it now, in spite of the shown fact that it has already value you a bounced verify value. to no longer point out the money which you're out of. you may get an answer from her financial business enterprise on it, yet you are able to maximum possibly could consult with the financial business enterprise's supervisor, no longer a teller. you are able to take it to her financial business enterprise and spot if it is "sturdy" now, yet you nevertheless could gather the bounced verify value from her. sturdy success with that. next time do no longer funds tests for her. a genuine chum could under no circumstances screw you out of money like that.

Technically it is a crime to write checks when you knowingly did not have the money to pay for them.
And I suppose it would depend on the state or municiple law in your friends area on exactly what the laws are concerning that but I have heard of that happening before.

Both, You see when you write a bad check you are stealing from the bank. They have not agreed to loan you the money you are taking from them.
