Big Spring, TX Criminal Defense Law Firms & Lawyers

You signed a contract to be on pretrial diversion for a specific period of time. At the end of that contractual time period, if you have done everything that is required under the contract and have not gotten into additional trouble, the case will be dismissed. In the meantime, the case is pending. You have a reset sheet resetting the case from the time you entered into the contract to the ending date of the contract when you must return to court to get the case dismissed. (If you do not show up on the dismissal date, despite having served all the terms and being eligible, a warrant will issue for your arrest for failing to appear in court.) Nice try to get out of the obligations of a contract that you were lucky to get in the first place.

Not knowing anything about your case, your public defender probably will not file a motion to dismiss because they believe that there is no basis evidentiary wise to support such a fiing.  If you believe evidence was obtained illegally, i.e., without a warrant for instance, then talk to them about that. There are times that a plea bargain can be in your best interests.  If you want to contest your case factually or based on the evidence, then your public defender is right--a jury trial could be a way to resolve your case if you feel that strong about your innocense. I encourage you to talk to your lawyer about your frustrations regarding your case.  I'm confident they will be able to explain it to you to your satisfaction.
