The DA asked for an extra month to review your misdemeanor charge?
30 days for my first appearance which I understood, it was the day after the incident.
But now 60 extra days? Why? Why do they need more time?

They realize you don't have an attorney so are just kicking this down the road. you have the right to a speedy trial, push them on that and you wont keep getting pushed back. get an attorney and make a deal with them.

Just go find a better call Saul schlep attorney hanging out in the courthouse and pay him $100 to talk to the DA. Get them to negotiate a diversion program or some other bullshite that drops the charges if you jump through a few hoops, like attending an anger management class.

Yeah, they have bigger fish to fry and they have not done any work on your case. They were not prepared to deal with it today and kicked the can for a bit. I might would try to plea out or hire a lawyer that can fight them if they try to ask for another 30/60 days again.
Another guy who was in court today was charged with theft and the judge said if he pays restitution, the theft charges would be dismissed.
I was hoping I would get something like that my way, I would definitely take it, even if I didn't do any damage to the vehicle, I just want this to be over with.

If this is true, I may look into this. Thank you.
If you're not represented by an attorney you 100% can talk to the prosecutor.

I just want to know what case the state has against me. No doubt the incident is on video as it happened on the strip, but the question is, did I actually do any damage? Even I don't know the answer to that. Maybe, maybe not, it all happened so fast.
You need to file for discovery/disclosure. I'm not sure of the process in that jurisdiction.

If you know you were in the wrong, go ahead and make the restitution now instead of waiting for it to be court ordered. Then let the DA know what you did, and try to get the case dropped.

Well, since you came here for legal advice, I guess there’s no harm in asking the million dollar question.
Did you intentionally damage someone else’s vehicle?

They're just setting you up for a plea deal.

IF I did any damage, at most the damage was no more than a dent that costs no more than $300 or so to pop out.
I bet if I tried to do restitution they would demand I pay like $3000 for an entire new panel.
Also the judge ordered me to stay away from all Caesar's properties, and people I know who work at the casinos say I am likely banned from Caesar's properties anyway even if the judge didn't order it.

If they had a plea deal AND they wanted to mess with an unrepresented party, they could have closed the file today. Either they are wary dealing with an unrepresented party who hasn't requested discovery etc. or they are waiting for evidence from a 3rd party (like the casino).

Why didn't they mirandize me if my own words would have been what sent me to the slammer to begin with? If I thought there was a chance of that happening I would have said nothing.
because you were not in custody or being arrested at that time.
you freely admitted to hitting a vehicle you say you dont even know for sure if you hit it, why?
in todays world you never admit anything about anything to anybody, especially law enforcement
Posted on 5/18/21 at 2:20 pm to goldennugget
Why don't you call up the DA handling your case and work out a deal?
Otherwise this little case of yours is going to keep getting kicked down the road while this DA tries to handle the thousands of other cases he has.

I slapped the side of their truck after they ran the red light at a crosswalk and almost hit me when I had the right of way. I slapped it to get their attention to let them know they almost hit me as they tried to drive away.
Was the slap intentional? Yes. Did I do any damage? I don't know.
The way the security acted, however, was as if I took a chainsaw to their tires while simultaneously egging their windshield and keying the paint off.

I don't want to have to pay a lawyer unless I have to. I am hoping that the judge dismisses my charges, or dismisses them if I pay restitution to the "victim" to keep this off my record.

This is helpful, thank you.
So to see the prosecutor I just need to go to the courthouse and talk to the right people to set that up?

Oh, agree. Hell, Nugget could have asked the ADA right then to take pics of their entire case file had he wanted.
