as long as you can't afford a lawyer the court will appoint the public defender to represent you.

Victim- good driver
Suspect- drunk driver gets away
Vehicle- total loss
Hit and run with property damage only is a misdemeanor by statute. Vehicle Code section 20002(d).
the accident just gave the police a reason to be there........THEN when they smell alcohol, see a bag of drugs or a lifeless body in the car they can investigate.
i assume the police report will show the smell of alcohol, poor coordination, red eyes, slurred speech etc.
if so they... Read more »

Call the Clerk's office, some courts have same day (meaning you show up to court when the Clerk's office opens and you get added to the calendar that day) while others have a more involved scheduling system which requires you show up and you get a court date some time in the future.
This isn't a clear-cut question with an easy answer. It depends on the facts of your case, you should contact a local DUI defense attorney to discuss the facts of your case, possible defenses and likely outcomes, you might also discover that a lawyer isn't as expensive as you think.
California will the judge know about this dui in CA in my final court day?

Assuming an alcohol swab was used to clean the site (usually they don't use an alcohol swab) you will need to contact a forensic toxicologist who has a lab or has a relationship with a lab to conduct the experiment.

July 2009 is when Calif courts reliquished controll or juristiction to DMV on all DUI enforment of statutory laws. Prior to that the Judge decided all aspects like school, interlock dev. Ect. DMV now says it has jurisdiction over cases even prior to 2009. Ex Post Facto comes to mind. Is this true?
The DMV has always had jurisdiction over licensing matters, nothing changed in 2009.
Accident was caused by , the negligence of a semi truck driver makeing a sudden illegal u-turn .
