It really depends on the Judge. If the witnesses are truly unavailable (extremely impractical to testify) then a sworn statement may be allowable. Typically they are not because the State Attorney has a right to cross examine witnesses in these matters. If you would like to discuss your issue more in depth, please give me a call.

If you don't think you can afford a private attorney I would like to inform you of the Johnnie Cochran Firm's H.O.P.E. project. H.O.P.E. stands for Helping Out People Equally. It is designed for those individuals who cannot afford private counsel but we feel should not suffer bad representation. We will evaluate your case and you could have the Cochran Firm represent you for a very reasonable rate. Please give us a call and take advantage of our free consultation and we can see what we can do for you. 305.670.3119 and ask for Joseph.

All My Best,
