The prosecutor told the JP that the witness was supinad, and the contact information given was incorrect.

Had my son's day in court.
Witness never gave a statement to the police.
Witness did not show.
Charges were dropped.

Thanks All for your help.

Just going through all the possible seniorios for next weeks trial date.

Can I motion for a STAY be asked during the beginning if a trial or does this have to be done through papper work before the trial date.
What I mean is if the witness did not give a statement,
and the officer does not have an evidence except her own notes and memory
and if the witness does not show,
but the prosecutor wants to still try this case
Can I motion a STAY.Or do I ask for the charges to be withdrawn?



I know that this is a lot but I don't know what to really expect.
So I want to be ready.

Thank you.

I will just go to the set trial date and see who shows up.
If officer doesn't show, or if the witness shows and I don't get a witness statment I will ask for the ticket to be thrown out.

Does he need a wi...

I received My trial date last month, and Called, Faxed, and E-mailed the request for the disclosure. When I made the request I did not specify for what,( weather it was for the officers notes or a copy of the Wi...

I will be going to court with my son who was charged with a hwy violation. I would like to know when In court, what are the limitations of what I can ask of the officer and the crowns witness. And can I represent my son or help represent him,by asking questions. Also the ticket was issued by the opp whom did not witness the violation, but was notified by another driver(witness). The witness has given a witness statement to the crown, which I have asked for disclosure of. Can I ask for a copy of the call made to the operator or 911, as I feel this evidence would benefit my sons defense. I feel ...

Thanks for the information, He will fight this one.
It just doesn't seem right that without actually seeing what did or did not happen a ticket can be issued.
