Saturday Court Date
My wife recently got a DUI in Ohio. I believe the law requires a her to appear for a hearing within 5 days. The hearing was scheduled for Sat. 12/3/05...I think the cop thought there were 31 days in Nov. Is this a technicality that could lead to the court throwing it out?

Re: Saturday Court Date
You were not clear enough in your question as to whether this was the first hearing she has been provided. Did she appear in a video arraignment the morning after her arrest? How did she get out? Who set the bond?
NOnetheless, call the court now to re-schedule at the very least.

Although she may have other defenses, I'm almost certain that the court won't dismiss the case based upon such a minor technicality. She should contact the court or check online in order to make sure when her arraignment is.
