Gotcha...

From my understanding, the lawyer was confused since the misdemeanor and two felonies were split up... and supposedly the bondsman told him they were gonna all be rolled together. :rolleyes:

Perhaps you should go outside more often, get away from your virtual life.

My friends never even so much as tried to hurt anyone before... in any way!

Why would you sue? And why do you think that the "freeman" concept is anything short of a big pile of horse hooey? :rolleyes::rolleyes: Please don't answer that, I could care less and I really do appreciate that ya'll are helping to prop up the tin-foil industry!

OP,
The atty probably wasn't paid, so didn't appear (Mr Green hasn't arrived).
If the atty had not made an appearance yet, then s/he wasn't the atty of record & had no obligation to appear.

Also, it's the defendant's responsibility to appear in court for all appearances.
In most jurisdictions, they MUST appear on felonies - the atty cannot appear without the client.
On most misdemeanors, the atty can appear without the defendant, but the defendant should appear to protect his/her interests - how many times in their life will they have to go to court ?? (hopefully, few) and, when jail time for a failure to appear is possible, why delegate the responsibility to ANYONE ??

The morale of your story is: GO TO COURT when you have been ordered/served to appear. What the heck is more important that day ??
Besides, you get a preview of the Prosecutor, the Judge and the sentences occurring in that court.

Think that was funny?

I believe in the Freeman concept for numerous reasons. Let's take a look at historical responses before we look at mine...

Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.

~Albert Einstein

The deterioration of every government begins with the decay of the principles on which it was founded.

~Charles-Louis De Secondat

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter, and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.

~Abraham Lincoln

Tis not, 'my country right or wrong'; tis, 'my country, that which is right to be kept right, that which is wrong to be set right'

~Senator Carl Schurz (MO)

The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.

~Albert Einstein

Here was my answer: "And I believe it, because there has to be a way to eradicate the scum from the Earth. I want to fight the domestic terrorists, seeing as how they're the biggest threat to the survival of our country... NOT foreign terrorists."

Looks like I'm a genius.

And as for your other post... she did most definitely deliver Mr. Green to her attorney. And this court date was for a misdemeanor arraignment. I already stated that she didn't go, because (A) the lawyer was already paid, and (B) she lives 3 hours away and had to work that day.

Thanks, Zig & Charlotte.
I needed a good laugh.
OOPS ...
However, I'm told I qualify for the 'Cash For Clunkers': every time I laugh, cough, or sneeze, my radiator leaks and my exhaust backfires!!!!
