Just because this was refreshed. I was arrested on 7/21/00,(see above post 12/17/00). Finally in Jan.'01, a not guilty plea was excepted, however not untill I signed a form waving my right to speedy trial,( the Constitutional Right to a just and speedy trial is evidently reserved for those willing to plea bargain). Prior to my plea I was being threatened with 120 days. Upon accepting my plea, His Honor informed me that should I be convicted, he would see to it I do 3 years. It's been 13 mounths since my arrest, I've yet to recieve a trial date, and I'm still not sure how far into the future I should book. I wasn't doing anything, and most of you folk sound like you think this treatment is justified.
