Long story short: Charge is disobey stop sign. I've had 2 court appearances. First one I requested an ajournment. Second one I was ready to proceed to trial but the officer was not there so the JOP set new trial date (rather than withdraw the charge). Something has come up and I will not likely be able to make the trial date. Short of hiring someone, I do not know anyone else who can appear in court on my behalf. Can I request 'early resolution' in this instance to resolve the matter before the new trial date? Do I contact the courthouse or the prosecutor's office at the courthouse?
Can you request early resolution after requesting a trial?

No. Early Res is no longer an option. Surprised that that case didn't get tossed on the 2nd trial day

Failing to stop for a school bus / handheld device
Got two very heavy tickets -- for failing to stop for a school bus, and for using a handheld device.

Question regarding appeal
Hey,
I posted here a *while* back when I first got my speeding ticket, and I've been fighting it forever. Anyway, long story short - I went and had an appeal and both the prosecutor and the Judge agree that I have valid grounds to appeal on, but what we're arguing is whether the correct remedy is a…
Auto Accidents and Insurance Authority
