So, I go to court yesterday to deal with this BS ovi charge I got.
Long story short, my public defender did NOTHING to prepare for my case, and was EXTREMELY late. The judge got mad and started court BEFORE SHE WAS EVEN THERE.
The prosecutor starts questioning the 1st witness (the guy involved in my accident) and the guy says SO much contradicting stuff, a 4th grader coulda gone to town on him during cross-exam.
But no. She had NO ?'s for him.
Then the State Trooper gets up on the stand, AND LIES, and then claims "oh our cruiser video cam wasnt working that day....." and this chick (my lawyer) doesnt question him at all either.
So the judge just starts spittin off his ruling, all fire and brimstone like I deserved it, and asks me if I have anything I'd like to say.
I tell him yea, I feel I've been misrepresented and would like to claim mistrial due to my inadequate lawyer (whom they provided me with).
He simply says "no."
I say, well I just wanna let you know I feel I've received no justice whatsoever, and that I shouldnt have to pay for my Lawyer's faults.
Judge looks at me with a crooked grin and goes (and this is no lie):
"Whatever, court dismissed"
So guess what? No liscense for a year, $375 in court costs, and I have to pay $700 in restitution to the guy involved in the accident (to pay for renting him a car to drive to court, for his gas, AND his frickin food durin the trip there and back!!)
So thats round one, round 2's on the 13th, where I got a driving under OVI suspension charge, and a no ops charge.
6 months in the county, a couple more years suspension, and a bunch more fines, HERE I COME!
