Right to a Speedy Trial

Question, on the back of my ticket it had instructions for pleading or paying the ticket. I did what it said and sent in a letter along with a copy of the ticket, and the fine money as bail stating that i plea NOT GUILTY. I sent it registered mail and it was signed for on April 4th by the clerk of courts. I still have not recieved my new court date, and called them to ask if i was going to get a court date in the mail. She said yes. I asked if she can give me a ballpark date as to when the date will be and she said the last week of May or the first of June.
So here is my question, am i being denied a speedy trial because this is more than 45 days from when they received my not guilty plea via registered mail?? If so is this grounds for dissmissal?

What state?

...I asked if she can give me a ballpark date as to when the date will be and she said the last week of May or the first of June....

Dang.

That IS speedy!

Lightning fast, in fact, considering the general slowness of the court system.

Seniorjudge, instead of being a troll, why not actually help someone on this website as it is intended for.

You don't come under the speedy trial act.

I once received a speeding ticket and on the back of the ticket where it had the court date, it was 33 days until court . Once I got in there , I cited our local statute regarding this and it was dismissed very quickly .

That was in Wisconsin?

It's above you my friend , just put your glasses on and read . It's not exactly "Rocket Science" .

PHP Code:

 <?
$seniorjudge  = "slacker";
echo "seniorjudge joke";
echo "<br/>";
print $seniorjudge;
if ($seniorjudge == slacker); {
print "too lazy to do a search";
}
?>

What seniorjudge was apparently intending to point out is that there is no such thing as a "local statute". States pass statutes, while local governments pass ordinances.

"Speedy Trial rights in Wisconsin

If you are charged with a misdemeanor, your trial must begin within 60 days from the date of your initial appearance in court. A misdemeanor is a crime usually punishable by either a fine or a year or less of incarceration. "


Did a cut and paste of the above.
So today i get a letter from the clerk of courts that says they set a date for a pre-trial tele-conference to talk to the DA on June 1st. I plead not guilty via mail as instructed on the ticket and it was sent registered mail and recieved April 4th.
So here is the question, if we do not come to a plea agreement with this telephone call do they have to get me a court date within 3 more days of the tele conference?

Are you charged with a misdemeanor?
