My Speeding Ticket Trial

[blu2blu]

Maybe I'll be as lucky. I got a ticket on I-10 the other day!

FYI, I appeared for the second of my two tickets this morning. The officer was not there when I arrived. When they called roll, the officer was still not present, but another officer indicated that he was on his way. Before my officer arrived, the baliff gave instruction regarding traffic school and I indicated that I wished to change my plea to no contest and go to traffic school. The baliff instructed me to wait to appear before the judge to change my plea.

My officer arrived approximately half an hour late and stood around for another ten minutes (the jury box was completely full of officers) talking to the court clerk and fellow officers before the judge took the bench.

They called my case third. I stood, and the judge said, "Your case has been dismissed in the interest of justice."

I thanked the judge and walked out.
