I had a trial date set for last Tuesday in Jefferson Parish, but Katrina hit on Monday. I live in New Orleans, in Orleans Parish, which from the looks of it won't be able to be inhabited for the next several months. Jefferson Parish, however, might pick itself up sooner. Do they actually expect me to be able to come to a newly set court date if my parish is still inhabitable? It's not like they can mail anything to my house anyway. (Actually, I don't know what the heck they'll do with all our mail.)
It's a shoplifting charge of less than $20 and I had my lawyer go to the arraignment already for me. What do you think they'll do with it?
