My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Washington.
Hey all; I could really use some guidance here.
Recap: I was pulled over in Jun 2016 for speeding. I did not admit to speeding. I got a ticket. Court set hearing date for mid August. I submitted request for discovery mid July (a month earlier). Prosecutor then reset the date to begin of October (because he could not deliver discover in time for the Aug date ~ I learned this after speaking to the court clerk).
But I had to be out of the country for the October date so I REQUESTED a new date which is now Nov 30.
Today is Nov 25th mid morning and the mail just got delivered. There is no discovery in the mail (I do not have Saturday delivery). I have to be away the next few days and won't be home to check the mail (I'm in travelling sales) until after the court date.
My concerns is this:
I live in a geographically isolated area and the mail actually has to go thru Canada first before getting to me. This always results in a usual 5-6 business days to get mail to me using normal 1st class postage. I can establish this in court simply due to my address - it's not a secret about the slow postal delivery in this area.
Clearly I did not get discovery in the 7 day window as required BUT how do I establish this? What is my presentation to the court?
Also, like what the heck? I asked for discovery in MID JULY ~ can I argue the prosecutor was dragging their feet for no good reason?
thank you!
