How long and by what means can I delay a trial date?
Charged with 11550, under the influence of a controlled substance.
Test came back positive. My Attorney has delayed trial due to my lack of funds. Court now wants a trial date set. D.A. wants to give me 90 days as I've already declined Prop. 36. I will appear in court next week for the first time to fire my Attorney and request that I represent myself. Hoping this will buy me time. If incarcerated for this misdemeanor at this time, it will destroy a current and invaluable job, along with my finances, reputation and other aspects regarding my family.
