July 12

More logistics for the Independent Study.

In court to request a continuance. Neither judge nor state eager to grant or go along. Mr grounds was that we needed to wait on the court of appeals to decide the DUI lookback. That is: until recently, your DUIs were added up over your lifetime to determine your sentence. Just this year, the legislature made it not a lifetime lookback, but a fifteen year lookback. And for this client, it made a difference. But court and state said, "why put this off for a sentencing issue?" Long talk from judge regarding the issue. But then judge set for change of plea in August, which was at least a ways off, which is what I needed to get.
