to have a trial set? This is probally impossible to know right? Yes, impossible to know, unfortunately. It depends primarily on the court's case load, the attorneys' schedules, and what issues need to be resolved prior to trial. Again, you really need to talk to your DAs office. I find it offensive that they haven't personally gotten in contact with you, with the pretrial coming up in, what, January? Unacceptable. Allison |

The Constitution says we have the right to a swift trial, but the defendent may not want it...An example is Charles Ng, who did not want to stand trial at all and did everything he could not to have one...

Carolyn: A lot of information needs to be exchanged between the defense and the prosecution. Also, motions have to be filed back and forth. If you are not getting the information you need, call the district attorney handling the case directly. If that doesn't work, call and get the name of their supervisor and call them. And if that doesn't work call *the district attorney* -- that will get everyone's attention fast.

Yeah I am pretty annoyed. I have so may questions. I have tried to get in contact with my Vic ad. No return call. The waiting is hard, is an understaement. thanks I can't understand why they haven't met with you already. We had a meeting with the prosecuting DA team after they had the case for a few weeks for review, well before the first pretrial. They called and let us know what each hearing scheduled was for. We probably talked every few weeks about the progress on the case for over a year - several meetings over that time and lots of phone calls. Every time the defense filed ANYTHING it was explained to us what it meant and the outlook. We had our lists of questions with us each time, and they weren't always able to tell us everything we wanted to know, but they let us know what they could. I agree with Allison that this is unacceptable. And I agree with Blakely as far as his advice on who to contact to try to get this corrected too. |

call * the district attorney* -- that will get everyone's attention fast. I don't even bother anymore with the VA, I call the DA directly. The secretaries always, everytime, connect me with him immediately. Find out what day or days are the "law day", and NEVER try to call at those times. That is when your PA and his office staff are up to their eyeballs in the everyday caseload. |

thanks all very much!!!!! Carolyn, I totally agree w/Blakely. If you'd like, I'd be more than happy to act as your representative and give the assistant, or the DA, handling your case a call. Just PM me with the case info, circuit, etc. if you'd like. Maybe a call from another lawyer (and former prosecutor/assistant AG) will kick their butts into action. Allison |
