"and case has been passed each week" - what do you mean by that?
I have yet to be formally charged I have not even seen a Judge yet.This case is a farce.My mother as well as my sister were arrested for explotation of the elderly.My aunt got guardianship over my grandmother in Jan. and filed the charges.Our crime was my grandmom co-signed on mine and my sister's college student loans two years ago and she is claiming my g-ma was mentally incompetant which she wasnt but she is now.my aunt put my grandma in a home and we have been banned from seeing her in six months.she now has full blown alheimers.It is a mess.My mom has a public defender which is useless ,we have no money to hire an attorney.My aunt is the one who has committed a crime by doing all this to us and my grandmother.
So you have been charged, but you have not been formally arraigned?
yes arrested,bonded out and have yet to have a court appeareance
If you have been charged, the statute of limitations is no longer running. With a long enough delay, though, there may be "speedy trial" issues. If you can't afford a lawyer, consider asking for a court-appointed lawyer.
