bogus court docketting

[shanepax23]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oklahoma, I became ill with a medical disorder which was confirmed by testimony from doctors and specialist along with witnesses. The seizure disorder kept me from driving obviously. I was in the hospital alot. I was under constant treatment from my neurologist. I was totally disabled and I did file for disability and the judge did say he would find in my favor. the McClain County DA, knowing this, put my name on a court dockett every week. This was very difficult on me and my family but we did the best we could. What I found out was that over half the time my family would bring me each week I would be told "there is no court". They never would call me and tell me. As the weeks went by it was evident that the da was picking and choosing when to have court. The day came when I was in the hospital and I had called and let them know that I would not be there. Now, I found this out after all this, our judge was on vacation so this was going to be one of those no court day but when the da found out that I had called he went and found another judge and issued a 40,000 warrent for my arrest. YOU TELL ME, IS THAT LAWFUL CONDUCT?

I understand your frustration. The d.a. has a lot of power and you feel it is being abused. This may very well be the case and he is intentionally busting your chops. But, the fact is you were scheduled and did not show up. At that point he is certainly within his legal right to request a warrant.goodluck.

What are you talking about? Why would a medical problem result in your going to court?

 

[shanepax23]

it was a probation situation and the da put my name on a court docket every week. when we did have the supposed court it wasn't like a normal court date. Going into the court room and all that. all they would do is give me a court minute. the da just wanted to have my name on a court dockett as much as he possibly could so he would have the best chance to through me in jail.

What is a "probation situation"? If you're already on probation what are the purposes of your court appearances?

You are not explaining the situation well at all.

What does your attorney have to say about it?

 

[shanepax23]

I understand your confusion. what they did is not normal. when I tell others about it they ask what I'm talking about. with me they play by their own rules. I will try and clear it up a little. example: instead of letting just see my probation officer once a month he put me on a court docket every week. I understand the way this sounds but they are malicious with me. he did this for no other reason than he can get away with it and he knows that I don't have the proper defense to challenge him and he has some kind of personal issue with me
