hi
yes, a doctor's letter would be beneficial and the "victim" can also attend court and state that she would be willing to have the matter dismissed with full payment by you.
Hi Samuel,
By the time I got your reply, almost a full day had elapsed. I had already gotten a letter from my doctor and the contact person's information (victim). So, we were on the same page..
However, I need you to be more specific. What, if any, are the legal reasons this charge would be dismissed. For instance, a postdated check or a check from an out of state bank...Neither of which apply to me. And what do I say to the judge? Do I make a motion? I am not justice system savvy. Can give him the info. in writing, before the court date, so I don't have to attend court? What would be best NOT to do or say?
This bad check program is administered by the district atty, I think. What about trying them, for dismissal, instead of the judge? Is this dismissal mainly at the whim of the judge? What about good past credit reports helping me?
BOTTOM LINE I still have some shame about having mental illness and that it affects my ability to act responsibly at times. Do you think I must reveal this?
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!
What, if any, are the legal reasons this charge would be dismissed
A - as stated, if you paid the money or have the money available to make payments
And what do I say to the judge? Do I make a motion? I am not justice system savvy. Can give him the info. in writing, before the court date, so I don't have to attend court
A - you can state that you have the money and that it was not intentional that this was done - however, you can speak to the prosecutor and explain and ask it be dismissed before you go to court - again, as i stated, the complainant would be helpful here stating they do not want to proceed with this matter
