Q: I got a speeding ticket for going 123mph in a 70mph in Clinton county MO. I’m 17 and from MN. Will I go to jail?
I hired a lawyer in Missouri. The prosecutor in Missouri told him I have to do 48 hours in jail. On my court date, the ticket was still not on docket and the prosecutor hadn’t received it. Why?
A: If it's a Missouri case then it will be handled in Missouri courts under Missouri laws with Missouri lawyers and court officials. A Minnesota lawyer would not be in a good position to answer this question. If you have a lawyer already, that would be the first place to go for answers. If you do post a question here, try it for Missouri lawyers. It doesn't matter where you live, only where it happened.
