What is the name of your state? AZ
I have my first hearing for a possession of Drug Paraphernalia July 13th, and I am representing myself. My father has been sick with cancer for a while and he has recently take a turn for the worse. I would like to get my kids out to see him before he passes away. There is a promotion for airfare that would allow me to afford to take my kids to see their grandfather, but I would miss my court date by a couple days. Of course I have no intention of missing my court date, but what are my options?
Can I enter a plea of not guilty prior to my court date?
I thought about filing for continuance, but by the time I got an answer I am sure I would miss the promotion. Could I call the court house and try to speak to the DA?
Thanks in advance.
