My question involves traffic court in the State of: Washington
My husband is going to court on the 21st of January, we are starting to work on his case we have a good case I think, basically they are saying he made an illegal pass on a one lane road. When in fact its two lanes (two lights) and he did everything legally and safely to NOT pass but change lanes. Anyways more about that later. The problem is we JUST (today) received by mail a Discovery Demand from the City Prosecutor. It says we need to "Comply with these requests no later than 7 days prior to the date set for hearing" thats tomorrow (Friday) how on earth can that be possible?
While looking to see if we could do the same I saw we couldn't because its AFTER the 14 days prior to the hearing. So it got me thinking why did we get this so late? Its dated January 10th, we receive it on the evening of the 12th. Do we have to comply with this demand and better yet SHOULD we. I would rather not show our hand I am doing a lot of research and my husband was in fact hit by another vehicle (she failed to turn on her blinker when changing lanes) so getting his ticket tossed out is very important to our case. I dont want to do anything to mess it up but think maybe they sent this out to late? What do we do or say when we go to court (IF we dont comply) when they say we violated IRLJ3.1(b)
Thanks in advance!
