Arraignments. Tried to convince me that every PD pleads everyone guilty @ arraignment (without ever having received discovery) because itâs necessary to âkeep things movingâ. They could not grasp my refusal, kept trying to explain their âprocessâ to me in a different way.
âTheyâ are the prosecutor, clerk, court reporter, and probation. LOST. THEIR. SHIT. Telling me âthe PDO will have to send someone else, youâre not going to work for us.â Yelling, talking shit âbehind my backâ but in front of my face, huffing and puffing, & pacing.
It was so bad I went to discuss with the judge and explain my refusal to plea people without ever having received & reviewed discovery among other things. ALL OF THEM INSISTED TO BE A PART OF THIS CONVERSATION.
And after explaining to the judge, they all took their turn explaining to the judge WHILE FREAKING OUT- ruining the flow of their docket and going to cause a crazy trial date. The judge: âfor 20 years we have always had a PD that is able to follow our rules and process here.â
Judge incredulously looks at meâ so you are going to plea everyone not guilty at an arraignment?!
