Legal Question in Criminal Law in Tennessee
neither my judge nor state TN will allow case to go to a trial despite motions claiming constitutional rights, and financial and health hardship; the NOV 2008 misdemeanor offense was set for jury trial NOV 2009; the state did not present any pre-trial materials whatever (I did) and had trial rescheduled to JUL 2010 due to a "more important trial"; in JUL again the state had no discovery/motions but again got the trial rescheduled to FEB 2011 due to "unavailability of police witness" .. judge does not even read defendant's motions/discovery and is hostile; do i have any options here? .thanks!

Have your attorney file a Motion to Dismiss for lack of speedy trial, if that is refused, Tennessee Rules of Appellate Procedure allow for an appeal.
