Reply to "Speeding Defense?"

I am still at liberty.

The trial date today was the court's "final date" with no possibility for extension. Given that fact, the smartass prosecutor was unwilling to negotiate a settlement.

On my instructions, my lawyer threatened to bring in several expert witnesses to support my extensive documentation on this case (thank you Bohdan for the generous offer to testify) as well as calling in both police officers involved in the ticket. This would suddenly require them to set a new date, contact the officers and incur some expense - if I won.

However, surprise, they decided to negotiate, and with me on the phone, they agreed to accept a 6 kph reduction which would make it 2 or 3 points (instead of 5 or 6) and about $120 instead of $835. Not bad.

I would love to post my defense (my lawyers said it was the best they had ever seen) but it's too large to attach. I will try to reduce and post later.

Free at last...
