not imformed about the idictment at all prior to it happening
Arizona Rule *(a) does require the prosecution to notify the defendant of any indictment. If this did not happen, it could potentially be grounds for dismissal. However, it's crucial to consult with a local attorney to understand all potential consequences.
I am also forcefully being transfered to Rule * court if I have already finished a rule * diversion program & graduated wouldn't they not have the need to have me re-evaluated to have this case ,directly after the finishing of the rule * smi diversion, to be admitted into rule * again
Your concern regarding Rule * is valid. Here's what you need to know:
- Rule * in Arizona is related to a person's mental competency to stand trial.
- If you've completed a Rule * diversion program, typically, re-evaluation isn't required unless there's a change in your mental state.
- Please consult a local attorney for detailed guidance.
i did not attend the doctor re-evaluation in hopes of having the paperwork they used to admit me into rule * smi diversion ready to give to them to show the lack of need for re-evaluation ready to give to the judge today since i was not made aware of court time & it is currently in session my lawyer said not attending the dr. appointment would result in me possibly be taken into custody when I do show up for court. is there a way to bring the paperwork & not be arrested by filing either a grounds for dismissal based off rule * 4a or a continuance w the paperwork
It's crucial to consult with your lawyer about this. They could help you file a motion to continue, or a motion to dismiss based on Rule *.*(a) if you weren't notified properly. But remember, missing court-ordered appointments can have serious consequences.
wouldn't it be in best interest to fule request for dismissal under rule12 4a instead of attempting to show them the need for rule11
It's important to consult with your attorney about the best course of action. While Rule *.*(a) dismissal request may seem favorable, you need to ensure you've sufficient grounds for it. Rule * considerations are primarily about your mental competency, and it's a different aspect.
