Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida
Court Failed To Produce Records
A senior citizen hit a parked car at church. He left after fear of a person that was standing outside of the car screaming. The gentleman was issued a ticket for leaving the scene of an accident. He hired a lawyer, the lawyer asked the court to produce ''records''. They did not after 4 months. There is now a court date. Can this be thrown out because the court did not produce after repeat requests to produce???

Re: Court Failed To Produce Records
The court is under no obligation to produce records. Maybe you mean the prosecution. If so, there is a very, very small chance that the case could be thrown out, but the appellate courts have said not to throw out a case just because there is a delay in producing records.
