What is the name of your state? Illinois charge-possesion
On my 1st court appearence my pubic defender, told me that I should Waive my Right to have a Preliminary Hearing.
He explained, it would make the court look better on me. In his words court was full and they were giving gold stars if defendants waive their Preliminary Hearing.
What did this mean? Did i give up some of my rights? I didn't understand what he meant, but i figured I should do what he wanted me to do, because he was my attorney.
If anyone knows about this please advise me.
Also my public defender also advised me that on the court date of aug. 23, that i would recieve my paperwork on what the states attorney planned on useing against me like, police statements, list of evidence, etc....I was suppose to recieve it within 30-60 days before the trial date. My date is on nov. 29th, and still I haven't recieved anything about the trial.
I only have a little over 2 weeks to prepare my case and need this paperwork. What shall i do about it.
I thought the states attorney was suppose to give my paperwork to my
attorney for us to review and also the evidenence, and the states witnesses statementes written by the witnesses for us to have time to read it and sort the right and wrong in it.
My sister was also charged with same crime, she got her paperwork of evdence 2 weeks after we had been released from jail. She goes to court on Dec.7, my court date was given to me for Nov.29th. Shouldn't i have a right to the evidance that they are saying agaist me in order to bring my own evidance and to be better prepared for proving my innocence in my case.
I so sorry if my 1st couple of posts were written like by a crazed person, trust me i am very honest, I just get very emotional and mad righting about the thread-wrongfully accussed.
that case was one where 2 people should of right went to jail,for aggravaited assult, and aggravated battery, but for some wrong reason, I go to jail for those charges 2x aggravaited assult+2x aggravaited battery.
Maybe i should of went to jail for yelling at someone and also cussing in public, but what i was charged with.
I just do not understand how these 2 women got away with all of these charges and walked away free, when the had the ballbat and pulled my hairout.
Thank god and the Judge that they seen the whole story and i was let go, but so much embarrassment i have gone through over it. I had to spend money for towing my car away, for bonding out of jail, paying attorneys for advice, missing work to go to court, babysitters, legal pads, etc...now how do i get all my money back? Big plugs were pulled from my head so i had to get my hair all cut off.
Plus our local paper wrote about what the states attorny reported in court the 1st day and that story was totally wrong, They never went back and reported a retraction, or any thing about my innonance.
Any advise anyone can give me please? or next time i run into them should i go ahead and kick their ass for being the really crappy people that they are?
