I got a ticket in NY state for speeding at 80 on 65.
Later I called the court and they said they would be dealing
everything by mail and phone, so pleaded "not guilty".
After a week I got the flowing mail
?In response to your (your client?s) plea of not guilty or request
for a reduction, we are giving you an adjournment to ?.date to
negotiate a plea bargain. This can be done in person at Court on the
adjourn date, or by contacting us by mail before the adjourn date.
You will need to provide the following information:
1. Acopy of the ticket. (We have attached this for you.)
2. Your (your client?s) driver?s abstract (this can be obtained at DMV
for a small fee)
3. A brief explanation of the situation that resulted in the ticket(s)
4. If an accident has been involved, proof from the appropriate
insurance company that all claims have been settled.
5. A stamped self-addressed envelope if the pleas bargain negotiations
are being handled by mail.
As always, you are responsible for obtaining appropriate adjournments
from the Court while the pleas bargaining process is on-going.?
I have few questions with above
1) Could some one give me a template for the letter to write
explaining the incident (also if someone could give a good reason) so
that they would reduce my penalty.
2) What happens after I send above documents?
3)I did not understand the last sentence ?? As always, you are
responsible for obtaining appropriate adjournments from the Court
while the pleas bargaining process is on-going??Do I request the judge
about a court date but they said they would be dealing everthing by
mail?
IF ANYONE HAD DONE SIMILAR PROCESS BEFORE THEY COULD GIVE ME THEIR
INPUT WHICH WOULD BE GREAT.
THANK YOU
