Another day, another excuse. While in the rest of the state, prosecutors are required to file a response to a motion within 10 days, I heard yet another interesting exception in the Republic of Jackson County.
A motion to dismiss and notice of hearing was mailed to the prosecutor on November 2. A copy was received and filed by criminal records on November 4. The hearing was set for November 15 at 1:30 p.m.
No response filed by the prosecutor, but a new Court Rule was suggested by the prosecutor. The prosecutor was out of town and didn't get back until November 8. Since he didn't get the motion until November 8, no response is obviously due until November 18.
Did the prosecutor request an extension? No.
Did the prosecutor call defense counsel? No.
Was there a hearing? No.
Do the Supreme Court Rules apply in Jackson County? No.
