I represented myself in Municipal Court for a traffic violation. I think I did a great job. It was trial by ambush. The police officer claimed he could determine the speed of a vehicle just by doing a visual. Well, I took him to task on that and the prosecutor objected (without grounds, mind you) and the Judge sustained. I lost the case. Afterall, how could the Judge find me not guilty in front of all those people and police officer looking on? Anyway, I filed for appeal. The court uses an electronic recorder that produces an audio file that is sent to a court reporter to be transcripted. Well, the problem is that the audio file is corrupted and nobody can play it to transcribe. What do I do now? The appeal requires me to have the transcript but through no fault of mine one is not available.
