I was involve in a case where I was originally charged with simple assault misdemeanor; yet it was later changed to a domestic dispute. The case is quite weak as someone was mad at me and sought revenge by creating an artistic story for the police. While I was waiting for someone to pay the bond, I was given a date to go to recorders court. Later, I kept checking the court dockets, only to notice my name was never listed. I called the courthouse and was told that because I got out on bond, the State had to issue me a new date for recorders court. It has been three months and I still do not have a date. I know trial dates can take a long time, but isn't there a time limit for recorder's court? Can I not, after a period of time, start asking for the case be thrown out.
