When some faces an arraingnment after serving 15 days ( no one would bail them out ) for felony battery ( 1 charge in Sept. that went for diversion 2nd dec 28 which reopened the 1st as a probation violation.) and the Da or States Attorney's office was not prepared (only filed criminal charges on the 8th and the *** da was not prepared "as it was someone eles case". The judge had to continue the case for 15 more days as a "pre trial hearing" thus giving the state time to enter a plea agreement to the defense. My question is, is it possible for the case to be dismissed? Is it poss. that the 2 sides can agree to something before the 1st? How can I access the PDefender as I can reach is secretary and I never receive as response by phone or email. Please help me as I do not know where eles I can turn for advise and answers.

You are being treated unfairly, I think your best bet, and I am not kidding here is to email Jeb, then you have it on record and see what happens then...good luck...

You need to get a lawyer or public defender. That's the only way you will be able to approach the DA about a dismissal. I sounds unfair but the only people who can make the deals are the lawyers. If you go in without support you are a lamb to the slaughter. A public defender is someone you can get if your finances are limited. I would go in to their office and talk to the secretary and I would keep calling until you get what you want. They are an office that is overwhelmed with lots of clients and low staff so you have to be your own best advocate. I don't see why this issue couldn't be settled as long as you don't have a criminal history.

How about a civil case against the first unprepared DA for violating the right to a fair and speedy trial as provided for under the US Constitution?

Take the plea. Don't upset the DA or the Public defender (you will pay the costs later by a higher sentence).

Whoever the defendent is (you or a friend), his or her attorney is the only one who can contact the DA's office. It would be a breach of the bar for the DA to speak directly to a defendant or one of their friend's or family.
Use your lawyer.
