Legal Question in Traffic Law in Missouri

Re: already pled guilty - traffic

It may not be too late for your husband to request that the judge set aside his guilty plea. He or you should hire an attorney ASAP to get the ball rolling. The facts you describe, may cause a judge to set aside the plea and alllow him to contest the evidence at trial. This does not mean he will win at trial. you have not provided enough facts to even venture a guess at that. you said before that you could not afford to hire an attorney. Now, can you afford not to?

Good Luck

Re: already pled guilty - traffic

Anthony Smith hit it on the head again! How long ago was this plea? When did you first come to believe that pleading guilty was a mistake? Depending on the facts, and other factors, it might be possible to set aside the plea and either proceed to trial or negotiate a better disposition. It will be more expensive and much more difficult to deal with this now then it would have been if you had been able to borrow or come up with money to hire an attorney in the first place, but I believe that it is the only option for you. Hire an attorney.
