Aggravated battery to police(spitting)
I was charged with a felony, my first, for spitting on a police officer. I have violent history but my first felony. I would like to attempt to defend myself. I have read there are ways to motion the court in a manner that would force the state' attorney(Illinois, Dekalb County) to act in a timely fashion. If the motions were not followed up on a timely manner by the state than it could be dismissed due to a technicality. Will this approach hinder the sentence if all is followed up correctly by the state's attorney? Do I risk a harsher penalty because I chose to defend myself aggresively? The battle I want to fight is against police brutality, but this approach is one I cannot win. But I would like to test the legal system and I am willing to deal with harsher consequences.
Thank you (innocent until proven guilty)
