I finally got the scoop on the hearing yesterday. Apparently the driver showed up to court without legal representation and pled guilty. The judge did not feel that he understood the charges or the process, and so he changed the plea to not guilty and rescheduled the hearing.We're probably looking at March or April now. Hopefully the guy hires an attorney in the meantime.
Eric was asking if he was entitled to an attorney for free, and I'd love to hear from any legal types who can explain this to me. I am guessing that your Miranda rights don't apply in traffic court.

Ugh, that sucks. I'm so sorry - I know you were hoping it would be a closed chapter soon. I hope the trial in April/March goes better and that you and Eric are still not needed to testify, etc.
