Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland

changing a trial date

My son was charged as being in possession of alcohol because the car he was riding in had beer in a cooler. He is now at college. Can we get his trial date changed to a date when he is home from school?

Re: changing a trial date

Generally, if this is the first postponement, the judge probably grant it. Try to find an additional reason for the date change. You will need to file a Motion for Continuance in the District Court for the case. If you need further help, just let me know.
