rules of court proceedings in dui case-AZ

[hiswife]

my husband is in county jail on extreme dui charges. he and original public defender could not work together, another assigned only to have that one decline on basis of not enough time. husbands's bail $25,000. actual date of dui: 2/4 date received citation: 3/5 went to court, released. appeared again and remanded into custody after da had sidebar with judge for 10 minutes- no representation for my husband included. next court date not scheduled until 6/22. How long can they keep him w/o being found guilty? was sidebar legal w/o representation for my husband? how long can city drag this on and keep my husband in custody? seems to be becoming planned...husband has one prior conviction but many(5?) fta's in other states for same charge- what would normal sentence be? can he get time served if he ever finally gets a trial? all occuring in arizona.

let's put it this way: he did, he's wrong, court sees it, he's not getting off. All of your questions really go to the length of time he'll spend in jail. Trials are not like you see on T.V. They don't last just a 30 minutes episode and end of story. I see nothing so far that the State did wrong. If he is truly without representation and DID NOT WAIVE THIS RIGHT, then he needs to contact a private attorney or legal aid.

I was not asking if he could get off. I was asking how long the city can drag this out. They are aware that I cannot post bail as they set it high enough so as to ensure that... I was asking basically, what is the right to a speedy trial, and what is the right to representation. The court dates are set so far out and he is still unrepresented. And no one can answer any of my questions when I call the court clerks, they have no idea what is going on. Whom do I contact that will advocate for him rather that against him. Private counsel is not an option. He just wants to get this over with. Even his kites are going unanswered.

Every person has the right to a speedy trail, and I do believe that it's either 90 or 180 days. I can't remember which. Call any attorney and they will be able to tell you the length of time for a speedy trial.

State has as long as they want!!!

My friend was cited for DUI in 1996 and is going to trial 8-21-01. This guy had been sober for 4 years when they decided to press the charges again.
