The trial date was pushed off to June ... I picked up the disclosure package and found a few areas to discredit the liar of a witness.

More to come in 6 months time.

Re: Looks like I was screwed today - "Unsafe Lane Change" -

Just make sure you say something like this to the JP : "Since the prosecutor only got the disclosure ready 2 days ago, I would like an adjournment as I need time to review it and prepare my defense. And I would like this time to count against the prosecution as I have been requesting it since ...

Re: Looks like I was screwed today - "Unsafe Lane Change" -

Yes the officer must be there as well. The Prosecutor's office finally got my disclosure ready ... with less than 2 days to the trial. Supposedly there is >15 pages worth of material. Personally I don't think it's fair to have it prepared so late, as such I'll probably request an adjournment. Since...

Re: Looks like I was screwed today - "Unsafe Lane Change" -

So I would have plead not guilty and requested a trial with the officer present. Once I got the notice of trial, I would have requested disclosure (officers notes and witness statements). Thanks for the reply; I have been trying to get disclosure since I received my notice back in September. Two fa...

Re: Looks like I was screwed today - "Unsafe Lane Change" -

Since this is a "he said, she said" scenario ... with no eye witnesses, and a cop who came 1 hour later, I assume defense here is to create reasonable doubt? In fact, I would think conviction would be quite hard since there is no video/photographic proof? I should had a dash cam - if I did...

Re: Minor Mistake on Disclosure Form

So after a month I have not heard back from the Prosecutor's office yet. I just sent in a second disclosure request. I'm faxing my request into the Prosecutor's office - will the judge throw out my request since I did not present it in person? I assume not according to the comments on this forum? Th...

Re: Minor Mistake on Disclosure Form

Yeah, I found the TicketCombat list after I faxed my list in... I was in a traffic accident, I was basically run off the road by a lady - but the cop believed HER story! It was a "he said, she said" type of scenario. I guess I'll have to follow up with a second disclosure with more details...

Minor Mistake on Disclosure Form

Hi all, I made a minor mistake on my disclosure request - I put a "Request Date" of September 10, 2014 instead of 2015. The rest of the form is correct including offense date, fax date, trial date. Will this affect my disclosure? Do I need to clear it up? Also, I noticed the Ticket Combat ...

Re: Looks like I was screwed today - "Unsafe Lane Change" -

What to do? Goto trial? Not even sure how to defend against this when there were no eyewitnesses? The other driver will be considered a witness. Should you request a trial, they'll inform the other driver of the trial date. Do paralegals help at all in these sort of cases? Will the paralegal put up...

Looks like I was screwed today - "Unsafe Lane Change" - NOT!

Hi all, So I was heading home to today and I was in the left lane of the off ramp, some lady cut across her lane of traffic and across the off ramp median and hit the back side of my car! After a few meters of bumping (I was dazed and confused) I stopped the car. I call 911 and was told to move the ...
