11b
Hi,
I attended court last week for my trial date. When I arrived, the prosecutor moved my date to later this coming summer. This new trial date will take place over 1 year from the initial incident. Here are my questions:
1) What is the time limit you need to reach for file an 11B? I've read some places anything over 8-10 months...some places say 11months. Is there a regulation or specific case law that gives a range? Is 1 year valid for 11B?
2) When should I file the 11B? If I just had my trial date recently, should I file the 11B right away (like, in April) or should I wait until about a month before the trial date later this summer? I'm concerned that if I file the 11B NOW, that they might try to move up the trial date and I'd lose my 11B status. On the other hand, if I don't have any communication until I send an 11B a few months from now, does that make me look bad...as if I am not actively trying to get a speedy trial? I asked for an earlier date already in court, but they said the date they gave me is the earliest. Do I need a transcript to verify I said this in court?
Note: I've already filed for a STAY before my first trial date due to no disclosure (not because of 11b). Do I need to follow up on this disclosure Stay application again also? Since filing, I did receive disclosure.
