Yes. I personally know someone who was jammed up on a felony charge. The case went on for so long that when the judge finally threw it out against the recommendation of the DA, the DA's office fought tooth and nail to go over the judge's head and re-file the charges. The guy left the court room all excited that it was over and his lawyer literally stopped him and said he's safe for now, but that it's pretty common for the DA's office to re-file charges like these. Couldn't believe it when I heard it.
