Our courts are seriously overcrowded. Delays are often caused when various court proceedings are continued (continuances) for any number of reasons. The State Attorney or defendant’s attorney may request a continuance in order to do further investigations of the case or for other legal reasons. Sometimes these continuances may even mean an unnecessary trip to court for you.
Please remember that every effort is made to keep you informed of the proceedings by the State Attorney’s Office in advance and that your patience and cooperation are essential to successful prosecution.
