[QUOTE="DDD, post: 592568, member: 35"] Did you call the Judge's office or the Court office? Reading your answer I had a "flashback" to our Court days because the State's Attorneys called the shots and the Judge almost always agreed with their decision. Try to speak directly with the Judge's secretary. Explain that you believe there are special circumstances that Judge X will be, you hope, interested in. IF she agrees to accept your letter and share with the Judge ask her if you should fax or deliver a courtesy copy to the DA. The system is a "good ole boy system" and in my humble opinion most Judges just rubberstamp the recommendation they are given by the Prosecution. Our Public Defender was shocked when I faxed him my letter of request to the Judge. The time in Court was not argumentative but it was not a tea party. Try one more time if there is a chance that you got diverted to the wrong people. I'm on your side and do understand your pain. DDD [/QUOTE]
