Maurice Washington Faces Charges

[SouthLincoln Husker]

I'm no attorney but in my experience, the longer these things drag out, the better off the defendant usually is.

I agree, except for the case is basically starting all over again today.  He pleaded not guilty a month ago and now they making him do it again in June.

The best case scenario is when he goes back for his plea that they reach an agreement at that time. Otherwise who knows how long they will drag out the actual court date

As a caveat, I'm not 100% familiar with California criminal procedure, but this case is not starting over. There would have been a plea hearing set at some time point whether or not he maintained the same attorney. The timeline on this is/has been pretty standard. If a plea deal is not reached at the plea hearing and he pleads not guilty he should get a trial date at that point (in which other deadlines in the case will be based).

He is already plead not guilty at the last hearing and the way I understand the next hearing in June is a plea hearing.  Does not make any sense, except for he has a new attorney.

Do you know how this stuff normally works?

He did not plead guilty a month ago.  That was reported but it was incorrect.

Because it sounds like you have (potentially?) a lawyer or someone who is very familiar with the process (delinquent?  ) letting you know how it works, so I'd let him speak.

This just F'n ridiculous how long this is taking.

At least he's racking up lots of frequent flier miles! :koolaid2:

could very well be Thanksgiving before this is resolved.

Huh?

I believe he attended by phone.

Man, I've missed a ton of frequent flier miles when using my phone. How come nobody told me about this!

Nope, so I will defer further eye rolls until talk to friend who does.

 

[Atbone95]

Huh?

Talking to SouthLincolnHusker. This new "Quote" feature really leaves some to be desired...
