dui
I have been to court twice now for my second DUI, the prosecutor has lost the paper work. I was wondering what is the time limit for a speedy trial? Also what would typically happen in this instance?

Re: dui
They have 90 days to bring you to trial for a misdemeanor second DUI, provide dyou have not continued for any reason. If the paperwork ws "lost," as you claim, a good attorney could possibly get it dimsissed or work out a favorable resolution.
If you have a PD, or are representing yourself, I suggest you hire an attorney.
Re: dui
Under Fla. law, the State has to have a trial in your case within the proscribed time period, unless you signed a document called a waiver of speedy trial. I seem to recall answering a question like this before...was it from you? In that answer, I outlined the procedures for demanding the State provide you with copies of the officer's reports. You have to file a Notice of participating in Discovery. It woiuld be wise to hire an atty. If my office can be of any assistance in North Fla., give us a call. Good luck, Tom Rosenblum.
