What Do I Say At My Arraignment? | Washington State | #attorney #law #legal #arraignment
Washington State Attorney Ryan Witt discusses all the things that you will need to say, and won't need to say, at your arraignment in your criminal case.
At your criminal arraignment, you have your 5th Amendment Right To Remain Silent. The Judges protect your right very closely. They will never ask you to:
* Make an excuse about what happened
* Narrate the event / tell a story
There is no public speaking experience required, and you will not have to think on your feet. All the substantive speaking will be done by your attorney. The Judges wouldn't even allow you to talk if you wanted to.
The types of short phrases you will be saying are "Yes, your Honor" and "No, you Honor". And that's about it. If you can practice those two phases you will be golden.
Hopefully this helps you remove some of the anxiety about speaking at your upcoming arraignment!

So, the obvious question is what to do if your vehicle, when made, never had a third taillight, but you were pulled over because the cop did;'t see one. Do you point it out on the roadside, or wait for court? Or Both. If a lack of twilight was the reason for the stop and you didn't have to have one, is the stop itself invalidated once this is pointed out to the cop? Lots of classic cars and trucks, pre-date the 3rd taillight law.
You would point it out in Court and have everything that follows the improper stop tossed out. There is no point in arguing with the cop, that only makes things go from bad to worse.
@@wittlawgroupps So true, that cops never like to be challenged by the side of the road. Like a bad rash, it annoys them. 😉
@@brianhenry2385 Ha!
Are you talking about a refusal on the road side, or a refusal to take the better, more accurate BAC at the station house? It seems like you should be able to say no to all roadside tests, while saying yes you will take the more accurate test at the station.
Yes, I typically recommend that people DON'T do the roadside test, but DO take the BAC at the station.
@@wittlawgroupps Thanks for the quick response.
You should talk more about when the statute of limitations runs or tolls and when it doesn't. For example: If a person steals some money from their employer but the theft is not discovered by the business for three years, in most states those years don't count toward the statute. It is only when the crime is discovered or known, that the statute begins to run. And, in sex crimes, particularly against children, many states have a whole other set of rules. You might also talk about WHY society has statute of limitations to begin with. Shouldn't a person who committed a crime be punished no matter how long it had been? In Ohio, in general, it is (a) For a felony, six years;. (b) For a misdemeanor other than a minor misdemeanor, two years;. (c) For a minor misdemeanor, six months. BUT, there are a whole slew of exceptions for homicide, sex offenses, and other select crimes.
That's a good idea. We will definitely work on something more specific like you are suggesting. Some times we intentionally don't go too specific because the laws in all the States are different. Thanks for your good idea.
That's bs you can get a dui for under .08 cause I did I blew .065 but the cop said I was impaired
Yep. It happens all the time! Fight those cases!
Yea, these are wild times we are living in. If the government can broaden the net, they will always broaden the net. We see that happen all the time, even when it's just in creative interpretations of already existing laws.
Hi, my case was just dismissed but everything started around September of last year and I was told that the charge on me was completely dropped and that the charge wouldn’t show on background checks but that’s the arrest will just wondering for sure because I hear lots of different things
How does it work if you have a dwls 3 but was unaware of it being suspended because you had a out of state license. Like I reside in wa but had an az license.
I received a DUI in 2013 in Illinois when I was 22 years old. I had previously had two underage drinking tickets as well and I was honest with my evaluator getting the median amount of hours needed for classes. I completed my community service but due to how messy my life was at the time I was unable to complete the classes I continued going to court over this for years and in 2018 ended up moving to another state resulting in my court supervision being revoked and being charged with the DUI and license revoked. 11 years later I'm trying to resolve this case and have a new evaluation coming up via tele-heath going thru an approved Illinois treatment center online. I lost my mother in 2014 to a drunk driver and have not had a drink since then. I'm nervous for the upcoming evaluation and worried i might say the wrong thing. Any advice?
Thankyou, my son is going to Court Monday morning to hopefully obtain a No contact or Protective order for his Ex. gf

Can the cannabis community qualify as a class for a class action lawsuit over DUI fraud?
I'm really not sure. It may be easier to try to modify the law through legislation than do a class action law suit. Either one will be an uphill battle. Best of luck.
@@wittlawgroupps thanks for the reply. I'm gathering plaintiffs for a class action
Does Agreement or submitting Mitigation Report to Prosecutor mean admission of guilt?
No, no not necessarily. I'm not sure what jurisdiction you are writing from (we are in WA), but we submit info like that all the time. Talk to your local counsel and just ask if there is any downside to submitting a mitigation report to the State. My guess is no.
@@wittlawgroupps Thank you!
What about Criminal DV Assualt 4?
If they dismiss an Assault 4 - DV it could be for numerous reasons, but here are the most common: (1) after review, the State didn't think there were facts sufficient to secure a conviction, or (2) mutual combat (some jurisdictions will dismiss based on this when they can't distinguish between the victim and the aggressor, or (3) the State may be waiting to determine the severity of the injury, and the Assault could be dismissed and refiled at a higher level, meaning as a Felony. Hope this answers your question.
@@wittlawgroupps It does, thank you! I'm advised to submit a Mitigation Report to present to the prosecutor & get the case dismissed, as I'm a DV Survivor & falsely accused. Does Mitigation imply me accepting guilt in any way? My lawyer says no, but internet says otherwise.
@@SG-xb7de - typically no. We do that all the time. Sometimes you have to give a little to get what you want in the end. It sounds like you have run it by your attorney, and they believe it is your path forward. If you don't trust your attorney, you may need another attorney.
@@wittlawgroupps Thank you for confirming!
Is there a reason why my arrangement keeps getting rescheduled? And why are my charges not been filed yet even tho I was booked in jail for the crime?
Greetings - It could be because the State has not completed all of the evidence gathering that they will need to try to secure a conviction. They just need to bring the charges and move to formally arraign you within the applicable Statute of Limitations. Many cases take a long time before they ever make it to Court. Typically the more serious the charge, the longer the State has to bring you before the Court. Hope that helps.
Super helpful, thank you!
We try! Thank you for your feedback.
This is just corrupt lefty BS because they changed laws nobody is explaining it because it’s illegal it’s just it shouldn’t have even been changed to this woke BS anyway if your cases dismissed your case forever so what are you talking about it’s not if it’s not dismissed then just say it’s not dismissed and put the right word in there say it’s postponed that’s why you postponed? dismissed means it’s dropped and gone it’s been eliminated because that’s what it used to mean
No, your honor. I was not driving. We were all in the back seat singing.
That is fantastic. We will have to member that. The I was in the back seat singing defense.

I would think a pda is a way out for the DA. They have no case but dont want to lose and in most cases theyre willing to drop it before the trial...am i wrong?
Yes, you are correct in a way. The State is more willing to offer a PDA when they have a weak case or thin evidence. There is a correlation between how weak the State's case is, and how sweet of terms you can work out in whatever type of resolution that you are pursuing.
So if a police officer tries to pull over a driver for reckless driving and the driver drives off at a high rate of speed and gets away but the cop gets the license plate will he just try to charge the registered owner of the car ? Or will no charges be filed due to no arrest
If you are looking for Statute of Limitations information specifically pertaining to DUI, here is our detailed analysis: wittlegal.com/blog/what-is-the-statute-of-limitations-for-a-dui-in-washington/
The Driver license law is unconstitutional - Any RIGHT that the Constitution gives to the people can not be taxed, fees attached or any law concerning that right.. Laws are made ONLY by Congress not Highway Departments. The same with tags on a vehicle - unconstitutional - If the people stand up for their Constitutional rights, we'd put a stop to these corrupt laws and CORRUPT property tax laws as well.. 5th Amendment gives a God given right to own land.. Anything that is a right CAN NOT be taxed or fees attached etc. When the people were duped into trusting these tyrants as honest people to help fund "public schools and highways" etc., this is what we get when Marxists gain control.. In our state up until 1979-81 we had assessors and any tax increase the people voted on - Yes or No to allow or not.. When the Marxists gained control they used our tax dollars to hire outside of state people to come in to reevaluate, (to protect the assessors) and then set up a land management which is unconstitutional. Then the state installed NON-Elected officials in the court houses all across the state along with the assessor.. NOW in 1991 when the Marxists were in control again, they passed a bill where the assessor can just pull numbers out of the air to increase the tax.. I'm wondering why some millionaires across the state doesn't start pushing a petition to BAN all property and land tax.. We the people have ALL the Inherent Power in the US and my state's Constitutions; not the public slaves, that includes these dirty judges and prosecutors.. Article VI - "The Constitution is the supreme law of the land" - ".... .. any legislation contrary to the Constitution is NOT Valid" .. Public slaves are bound by the Constitution to uphold same.
Thank you for sharing this info.
You are welcome! I hope it helps you in your profession.

I'm trying to find a STATE CERTIFIED drug and alcohol evaluation in PA and I can't seem to find one.
Lmfaoo me fucking too. Pa is so ass. Been calling around/searching on google and some company from Georgia popped up🙂
I got it straight. I went to the state where the offense happened.
Succinct and informative . Good job .Thank you
Thanks! We appreciate the feedback! We have come to realize that most people (even our own clients) don't really know what happens at these hearings. Therefore, we are going to try to do videos on all the main types of hearings that people will encounter. We just published on today on "what happens at a pre trial hearing." I hope you will check it out!
So I’m a cdl driver and I drink once every 6 months sometimes go a year without drinking anything. The dui certificate says I accepted a referral? I told him repeatedly that I don’t feel I have a problem and I do not want treatment
I was given a no contact order. My girlfriend said we were arguing and she was afraid for her life. Is there a charge involved?
Where can I reference this information in a legal document?
Use the following link: app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=46.61 and then click on 46.61.425. That is where you can access all the RCW's (Revised Code of Washington). Hope that helps!
How long do they usually take.
There's a lot of bad examples out there that you could have used on how NOT to behave 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That is the truth! We have seen some amazing things go down in ZOOM Court! Our videos should be required viewing!
Cause I wanted a fucking cheeseburger thats the dumb ass reason why i felt like it..
one of the most important things about an alcohol evaluation is you have the constitutional right to privacy. and no one can violate the 4th 6th or 1st. so when they ask you your name you say? nothing when they ask you if you like to drink you ask them yah i love water dont you? when they ask you how much did you blow? lol this one is simple as a man i jsut say i never give blow jobs do you? in all cases you never have to answer any question. EVER
if they you ask you what you blew? say i dont do blow jobs do you? again never answer any question
the most important thing you need to understand is you never have to answer any questions.
