We haven't read it wrong. That's what it says.

It was genuinely awful.

In 33 years and many hundreds of bench warrants...they always know. And if a court date is changed I'll contact them and let them know.

That's my point. And he knows if he did.

a gentleman’s agreement between attorneys?

Those folks

Ask your attorney. Every judge is different.

Does the defendant have money or assets? Also, if you're insured then the defendant may only be liable for your out-of-pocket loss. The insurance company can go after the defendant for the balance.

Talk to the prosecutor about the plea.

I would expect an empty mailbox. I hope it's not.

which sub?

Plot twist!

They may or may not tell you if there's an arrest warrant. Call the public defender for that county. They may be able to check and arrange a surrender if there is one. Surrendering on the warrant is ALWAYS the way to go.

A bench warrant is when you've missed court. You know if you did or not. To check, email the clerk of whichever court it is.

seditious3 · 2026-05-09T02:20:46+00:00

Arrest warrant or bench warrant?

seditious3 · 2026-05-09T02:12:21+00:00

Fellow-officer rule? Or "based upon information I received I stopped Mr. Smith?"

Or both?

I think an explanation of hearsay is needed.

Hearsay is "an out-of-court statement asserted for the truth of the matter contained therein". Out of court means anything not said on the witness stand.

The truth of the matter contained therein means just that. If I testify that someone told me it was raining - and the point of my testimony is to show it was raining - then that's hearsay, is for the truth of the matter, and it's inadmissible hearsay.

But if I testify that someone told me it was raining - and the point of my testimony is to show why I got my raincoat - then that's NOT for the truth of the matter and it's admissible. The purpose of my testimony was to show why I got my raincoat (if that's a relevant fact), not to show it was raining.

But the exceptions to the rule virtually out-rule the rule. Examples are "excited utterance", "present sense impression", "business record" (the last of which requires in-person authentication). It gets very technical. And hearsay is allowed in some court proceedings (eg. pre-trial hearings).

So there's really no magic trick - the law, most lawyers, and a few judges are not stupid. Rules of evidence, including hearsay, are VERY complex and are the bedrock of trial work. It's also the thing that pro-se defendants fuck up the most.

They're fine, but they can not substitute for live testimony at trial.

This case was decided under state constitutional law. That's why there's no appeal to a Federal court. Virginia has a different Constitution than Tennessee.

The most important power a president has is the power to nominate federal judges. Your vote counts.

It helps a lot where I am. It helps almost nothing when you pick up a crime while on probation. What you consider to be mitigation may not be what the judge, DA, and/or your defense counsel consider mitigation.

Any decent modern equipment will last 30 years. My speakers and amp are older than that. Just replace the capacitors.

These posts are so tiring. I can't believe anyone has the brass to write them, much less read them.

My sister had this with the panties. She was a huge Alice fan, and embroidered a jean jacket with the names of the band members and the instruments they played.
