In a NJ Municipal Court, I asserted myself as a pro se litigant, when I was informed that because I refused to take a plea deal, I would be going to trial in only a week. I read about my rights as a pro se litigant, emailed the prosecutor requesting discovery, and the municipal court clerk requesting the standard thirty days to prepare for trial. I was given a new court date, the prosecutor responded with a scanned copy of my issued ticket, citing another email with the arresting officers body cam footage would be forthcoming. It never did. Court was today. I unfortunately was absent for honestly marking the wrong day in my calendar.
I found a rule stating that the prosecution has ten days from Defense’s request to provide all material evidence: body cam, police reports, chain of custody, statements. I received none. Once I was to receive discovery, I then had twenty days to respond. I previously supplied him with my insurance, registration and didn’t feel the need to provide anything because isn’t the prosecutor in dishonor? Can I file a motion to dismiss based on lack of response on the part of the prosecution- while I assumedly have a warrant for failure to appear?
