Re: Resisting law enforcement

The notification you received is obviously confusing to you, so I would not take anything for granted. The "not guilty" reference might refer to the plea you entered (or the court entered on your behalf). The court could not have found you not guilty without a trial. You should plan on attending the pretrial conference and trial dates, and you should retain an attorney as soon as possible, so that he/she can obtain discovery and effectively represent you at those dates. Don't count on the judge granting a continuance if you wait too long to get an attorney.
