In Ohio, City of Akron, for a ticket issued by the State Highway Patrol.
I filed a motion requesting interrogatories and also documents and things. Today was after the date on which the answers should have been submitted to me. In making a good faith attempt to get these answers I called the prosecutor and the OSP. The prosecutor pointed out that I cited the civil rule instead of the criminal rule and therefor was owed no reply. Although he did not avoid replying because of this, he simply noticed it during my call to him.
So, my Q is how might I amend the motion.... if that is at all possible.
Furthermore, the initial request for discovery must be made within 21 days of arraignment and at least 7 days prior to trial, whichever is sooner. Do I have to worry that because my original motion was incorrect that I no longer have the right to discovery?
The prosecutor also made a comment about interrogatories not being allowed for. Is that correct or is it a matter of verbiage?... maybe I simply misunderstood him.
Thanks to all who can help. I am new here but have been doing my own (pro se) legal work for awhile with pretty good success. This is my first time fighting a speeding ticket.
