I have had my felony case sent from the district court to the circuit court. Charges are assault w/deadly weapon and possession of marij.
I had a knife in my vehicle and they say they found weed in my car. I may have had roach in my ash tray that is all I know I had. The accuser said I pulled a knife and approached his vehicle. During his testemony he faultered in his account and also has a felony record. The judge ruled his record will be omitted into his testemony. What are my chances of this going to trial. I have a Pretrial/arrainment 5/11/09. The possession charge is not even been appoarched and I have no clue on what the amount or anything. My court appointed does not answer my questions on this either.

If your court appointed is not helping you, you can switch public defender, but you need to claim ineffective counsel and make a motion to the court. You can also call legal aid in Michigan and you can also try www.attorneypages.com. I don't know if you mean OMITTED (i.e. stricken from the record) or ADMITTED (allowed in).
Based on the informatio, chances it going to trial is great. So it sounds like this was a probable cause hearing/prelim hearing? It will most likely go to trial.
