Just because you have an appearance scheduled for 18 September doesn't mean the prosecution won't motion for the case to be dropped on the 14th. I had an arrest and was fully scheduled for a pre-trial appearance on 05 July and then was to be "be prepared for a 1-week trial" beginning the next Monday.
The state solicitor 'nolle prossed' the case on 29 June.
This is what I was thinking. I was there today and the "arraignment" was a joke. Now that he has to pay for a lawyer, I would expect that discovery will cause some questions to arise as to the veracity of the charge.
