I know someone who was arrested and he has about 14 charges and on a certain website it lists all his charges and theres a category that says ''General Offense Character'' and all his charges are ''principal''. Does anyone know what that means? If its good or bad? Thanks in advance.
My understanding is simply that General Offense Character lists the general characteristics of the offense. In other words a general description of the offense.
As for the "principal" charges, I am thinking that this means the main charges they are making a case on.
I am not a lawyer, so just take these for what they are, and consult a legal professional if you need more help with this, or talk to someone in law enforcement who deals with this stuff every day. :-) [ DangerNerd's advice column | Ask DangerNerd A Question ]
