Double Booked
Not my client, but I was on the prosecutor’s side when a defendant failed to appear for court. His attorney can’t reach him, nobody know where he is, so we all sit there for about half an hour, until the judge gets sick of it and moves on with the docket.
We found out later that day that the defendant decided to rob a 7/11 the night before and was sitting in jail two counties over when he should’ve been in court.
