Re: Going to court WITHIN a week is awful fast

Going to court within a week is nearly impossible...UNLESS..the poster was referring to the preliminary hearing, which is usually quite fast.

I was arrested for possession of a controlled substance (and DUI) in May and still do not have a court date. I went to the prelim, which was about 10 days after my arrest, and to 2 'roll calls' for my bail/bond.

A preliminary hearing, is an informal hearing in which the judge decides wheather there is enough evidence to prosecute.
HOWEVER, for some reason, my OP prescription was not allowed to be admitted in the prelim. In fact my attorney was not allowed to provide any evidence, but only to question the arresting officer.

On another subject and just a FYI to those using OP's, it is not looking like my prescription bottle will be enough to get the charges dropped. It doesn't help that it was from one of the pharms that was raided and shut down in PA. some months ago.
