Legal Question in Criminal Law in Colorado

I have a jury trial on Monday, May 13th and I am representing myself in this matter. I was falsely accused of child neglect without injury. I never talked to the police or DHS and was nver arrested or served with a protective order. I was only told about a protective order. When I was at trial preperation the prosector informed the judge that she was not able to secure the accuser or the police officers to show up on Monday for the trial and will ask for a delay to get them to come to court. This happened six months ago in October 2012. How can I object and show the judge that delaying the case is not right when I have a hotel receipt that shows I was never at the house when this allegedly happened. I've waited for my day in court and lost six months with my son. What do I need to say to the judge to allow the trial to Happen on Monday, May 13th??

Look at this: � 18-1-405. Speedy trial

An attorney would have helped you preserve your rights under this statute. It is possible that you have set yourself to benefit from this statute anyway. Good luck.
