    Hello p:

    In this country, you son is entitled to a quick and speedy trial.. However, he won't get what he's entitled to UNLESS he has a pit bull for a lawyer.

    Don't you have the 10% for his bail?

    I had a family member on a felony, sit for 14 months in jail before they had the trial. Good news the time applied to his sentence. But it took 8 months for the crime lab to do the test on the drugs.

    But what is his attorney doing to get it to trial ? If that DA is goine, asked to have it moved to state court perhaps.
