Q: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A SUBPOENA IS RETURNED CAN WILL THE CASE MOST LIKEY GET DISMISSED BEFORE IT GOES TO TRIAL.
MY BOYFRIEND WAS INSIDE THE HOUSE WHEN HIS FRIEND STOLE A PHONE FROM A PROSTITUE HE HAD AT THE HOUSE BUT SHE WENT TO THE POLICE AND SAID HE USED A GUN AND THEY BOTH RAPPED HER. THE SOBPOENA'S HAVE BEEN RETURNED AND THE GIRL HAS PREV ARRESTS FOR PROSTITUION AND THEY DNA ALL CAME BACK NEGATIVE BUT HE'S BEEN IN THE COUNTY SINCE JULY 13,2013 AND THE CASE IS SET FOR TRIAL BUT THEY JUST RECENTLY RESET IT FOR NEXT MONTH DUE TO OTHER TRIALS GOING ON AT THE TIME AND HE HAS A FREE WORLD PAID LAWYER WHO I BELEIVE IS HORRIBLE BECAUSE EVEN THE COURT APPOINTED LAWYER TOLD ME HE CASE ISNT STRONG ENOUGH FOR THE STATE AND THE SO CALLED WITNESSES WONT SHOW UP SO WHY IS IT STILL STARGING ALONG.
A: Because the Court controls the trial settings not the defense attorney. The defense attorney cannot make the State go to trial as long as other trials are being held.
