Pre-sentencing

Interview with Terri

JM: Tell us about the pre-sentencing process:
Terri: I was charged with Failure TO Appear/ Bench Warrant for a traffic violation I had already previously gone to court on, then failed to return on ordered date. I awaited bail in the pod over the weekend. When I was finally able to contact someone to post my bond, it took approximately an hour or two to completely be released.

JM: Did you have police stop by your house for questioning? If not please give us details on how you came to be arrested.
Terri: I was arrested in Sedgwick County, and being detained there, when Butler was notified they informed sedgwick they wished to place a hold on me untill they were able to transport me.Once I had bonded in sedgwick, Butler was notified and picked me up within the same hour that I was released from sedgwi

JM: What was court like? Please give as many details as you recall.
Terri: I was out on bond, I arrived 5 minutes early. The room was packed full of people from the Judges desk all the way back to the back of the room. The court room itself could not have been bigger than a typical 2 bedroom home. Very crowded, and alot of people with out seats. The Judge called names as appeared on docket, you walked up to his desk, he read your presumed charges, asked if understood, then told me he was dismissing me upon the stipulation I agreed to apply my bond payment to my fines still owed. I agreed. He stamped n signed my file and told me he did not want to catch me in his court room again. Then I left.

JM: What were your original charges? What did you end up being convicted of?
Terri: Failure to yield, innatentive driving.
