Criminal Law lawyer at Lawrence Lewis, P.C.
You are allowed, and the prosecutor is allowed to file a similar transaction motion and involve you in the current case. Good luck.

Can I file a perjury charge on someone?

Answered by attorney Wallace James Williams (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Williams & Pine, LLC
Only a district attorney can bring criminal charges of that nature. However, if the perjury was a false statement about you then you may be able to bring a civil suit for slander. You will need to speak with an attorney regarding the slander suit, as this can be a complicated area of law.

I went to court today and learned of additional charges against me that I was not aware of, is this allowed?

If you were made aware of the new charges, then knowingly and intelligently entered a plea to those charges, then it is not something you can appeal. The potential remedy in an event you were unclear of what was going on would be a motion to withdraw a plea, which must be made as soon as possible, and generally, within 180 days from entering the plea unless special circumstances exist. An appeal would be a potentially appropriate remedy in situations where there was an actual trial and you lost that trial. To answer your other question, a prosecutor can add charges after initial filing and prior to resolution of the case. In the future, I would recommend having an attorney handle any matters such as this (and before entering a plea) to handle these situations as they occur.
