No, I just got a letter back from my attorney yesterday. I still have my second Arraignment set for December 17th. The way it was going to work is when i went to the first one, my attorney and i looked over the file and everything.... saw the mistake they had with the Pontiac SLE, with almost the same license plate. We asked for a flat out dismissal or lower settlement and the stupid city attorney like shot us down. So he (my attorney) then started talking to her (city attorney) to see what we could do. She said that there were video records made, we could stick with our not-guilty plea and just wait for the tapes which she said would be available in about 2 weeks (over a month ago). She said we could review the tapes and still have the settle option @$300 even if i somehow there could've been a car like mine on the tapes. This way i was still at the same place i started except i was supposed to be able to review the "evidence" they have against me. Now turns out i think i am just going to get the shaft. They aren't going to let us review the evidence until after the second arraingment thing. So i can't settle if i plan on pleading innocent. The whole thing ends up basically saying that either i pay the 300 bucks to make them happy, or take a huge gamble on whether i win the real court case or not. If i end up going to court i'm 75% sure i'll lose, because they will just round up some cop there that says he saw a silver car with someone just like me in it. I won't have a chance. I'm going to call my attorney back tomorrow i hope, and see what else he has to offer. I'll keep you posted though
