What is the name of your state? Mississippi
I was wondering how I go about filing a motion for discovery in the state of mississippi. I am told, by the court clerk, that i have to wait until after my arraignment to do this. Is this necesarily true? I have a good case, and I would rather not spend thousands hiring an attorney but rather talk to the prosecutor and just plead guilty to a lesser charge or work out some sort of pre-trial diversion program to have the charge dropped against me. Would it be wise to talk to the prosecutor on the day of my arraignment and explain my case to him? I dont know if I should reveal my defense strategy or not (I am using a case from the state appeals court that is applicable). I really want to avoid hiring an attorney if at all possible.
