Hi Barry,
Ok, I spoke with Clerk of the Court and found out some very (potentially) good things!
1st of all, for anyone who's interested, I found out that in Snohomish County (CD), the deferral proceedings are decided in court by the Judge, on a case by case basis. I have never had a deferral, if only I knew about them in my younger years!
2nd, I obtained the filing date for the ticket. The ticket was filed 15 days after the date the ticket was issued! So, I will motion for dismissal as soon as my case is called. Now, the remaining text of IRLJ 2.2(d) states:
Does that mean they can just name off any "good" reason and if the Judge so chooses, he can overrule my motion to dismiss? Obviously yes, but I was hoping for some of your insight on this matter or if you've had any experience on what could constitute a "good reason".Quoting IRLJ 2.2(d)
Also, when the Prosecutor sent me the discovery packet, one of the items stated this:
When I recieved this packet, there were already less than 6 days until the hearing. I could not have possibly complied with this request via mail.Quoting Prosecutors response to my Discovery Request
Some questions I have are:
- Does that mean I can't make the motion because I did not give them a copy? (The reference mentions "ex parte" but I don't know what that means.)
- Can I bring a copy with me for the State? Is there a proper format?
- What does "corresponding legal authority mean"?
Thanks again for all your help!
