Washington - King County.
Hi there.
I've got a trial scheduled in about six weeks, and am not very well-prepared. The cutoff date for filing a motion for continuance is coming up in a couple of weeks, and I don't have counsel. Currently, I am being treated for stress-related anxiety due to a false police report filed by the wife. She admitted she was lying to the cops after they came after me with machine guns, and this is documented in the police report. I was not arrested but was very badly shaken up by the incident.
Because I do not have counsel, I am currently taking a couple classes and writing a research paper (due one week before trial), and am still receiving treatment, do I have a decent chance to have a continuance granted due to circumstances?
I have spoken with an attorney and will borrow money to hire him soon, but the cutoff date for discovery has passed. Will a judge take pity on me and give me an extra month or two to conduct discovery and prepare for trial? Any idea what my chances are?
