    Default Re: Trial Rescheduled Beyond Speedy Trial Limit After an Initial Continuance

    To the MadNorwegian, I understand, but I wanted to know if I had any other options. I could try to go and ask for an arraignment date and see if they'd give it to me.

    To the CourtClerk (really?), I signed that form, but it said "to the new date" It was not a general waiver of a speedy trial in my mind. Do you think the clerk will give me an earlier arraignment date if I go in and ask even though they are trying to delay the trial by 4 months?

    No. They won't push the date forward. If they went 4 months out to reschedule, there was a reason for it. Sounds like the officer is either out ill, injured or will be gone for some other reason. When I rescheduled traffic trials, the officers had to have their postponement requests signed off by their supervisors and we're talking LARGE agencies like the CHP. If he said he'd be out, he's going to be out

    CourtClerk, I assume you mean an earlier date. So I am left to wait 4 1/2 months, along with the sleepless nights of worry, and try to remember it all over again. If ever I choose to contest a ticket again I will NEVER request an arraignment and trial on the same date!! Thanks for your help.
