Thanks for the help judge army. I got to tell you about something that kind of shocked me. It was the fact that I didn't have to show up for court on Dec. 23rd 2015 .
I was able to call the clerks office and speak directly with the Judge and prosecuted over the phone.
I did like you said...
OK thanks so much. I want sure if I could still do that and yes I qualify for a public defender I just want sure if I could appoint one at this stage of the legal process.
I have trail court dec. 23rd but I never hired a lawyer or PD . what do I do when I go to court ? Can I ask for a lawyer or public defender or is just to late? I never waived my rights to a speedy trail , can I still do that or is it also to late for that?
If I was not read my Miranda rights throughout being arrested on a 5th degree theft and my name was clearly stated/printed incorrectly publicly in the Iowa newspaper, plus incarcerated for several days before posting bail is there any chance of case getting tossed out?
