Does your wonderful e-book have all the answers? The ebook in question and the Nat. Mot. Assoc. offer conflicting advice on several issues. For example, the ebook strongly advises against a jury trial while NMA advises that you should request a jury trial. I myself think that the ebook is right--you are asking for trouble is you ask for a jury trial. |

You're right, here lies the difference - but: NMA does NOT advise that you should request a jury trial in Massachusetts, where this particular violations occurred, because you can't get one. And that is the rub: while NMA maintains a network of state chapter coordinators, activists a volunteers, a book offers one generic advice for all the states. |

Well, no. I paid for 'instant access' to some of the info on NMA web site and they specifically state that if you can get a jury trial you should ask for one. IMO this is asking for trouble -- you're ****ing off the prosecutor, the judge, etc. > And that is the rub: while NMA maintains a network of state chapter > coordinators, activists a volunteers, a book offers one generic advice > for all the states. True, but I have the relevant case law for Indiana. I'll try it in court tomorrow, and I'll let the group know how it worked. |

I have a few lawyer friends. They all say, on a minor thing like a traffic citation, there are basically two appeals that can be used: law, and emotion. If you're going to argue the law, ask for a jury. If you're going to argue emotion, forget the jury. For such minor things as traffic citations, most jurors will feel that theu are being wasted on such things, and will have little pity on what they will see as a whining loser. Their view is, if you did it and are just trrying to cry your way out, convict. However, if you can articulate your way through the actual law, and at least show that you *thought* you were right, they will usually let you off. Interesting. -- Bill Funk Change "g" to "a" |
