Update, the trial was rescheduled for August. I got a letter saying the DAs office has to decide whether to file a petition and forward the complaint or to handle the matter "informally" without involving the court.
I'm going to talk with a lawyer friend I have, but it sounds like they may want to try to settle? My question is if we settle do they still have an equal obligation to pay? The DA office told me if we went to court and my restitution was approved, which it will be because I have a receipt and I am on the police report, that they would either pay or go to jail for a short stint of ~ 2 weeks.
