Re: Driving without a license.

I've had cases in Ventura County for over 10 years. The D.A.'s office there does not believe in plea bargaining. I hope you have a good attorney. To get a case dropped, you'll need a highly qualified attorney and some good facts. There is no statute of limitations on how long a prosecution goes on, subject to the parties right to a speedy trial. If that is not waived then the matter must go to trial within a certain time. It is obvious that in your case, for it to go this long, there has been a waiver of that right. Talk to your attorney about these issues, and I wish you well...David Wallin
