Q: I was arrested on July 10 for DUI. Court was Aug 10 but they didnt take me. Aug 21 they kicked me loose. Why?
I was given a new court date of Sept 8. Im from Tn. This happened in Alabama. How long does Alabama have to take me to court on a DUI? Did they mess up and leave me in jail too long? I never saw a lawyer or a court room. Never assigned an attorney. Nothing. It feels like they messed up and dont want me to know it? Whats your take.
A: My take is that you need to go see a private criminal defense attorney in Alabama about this to learn what is going to happen and what can happen to you. Cases take many months to resolve.
