| Pleas |
|
You can enter any one of the following three
pleas:
GUILTY
NO CONTEST
NOT GUILTY
A plea of NO CONTEST is not an admission
of guilt, but is an admission of the truth of the facts stated in the
affidavit. It is then for the court to determine whether the admitted
facts constitute the offense.
A plea of NOT GUILTY should be entered if
you dispute the facts stated in the affidavit or feel they do not
constitute the offense. A trial date will then be set.
If you plead GUILTY, you will be given an
opportunity to tell the court anything you feel may mitigate or lesson
the sentence. If convicted of a traffic offense, a record of the
conviction will be sent to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
If you do not respond or appear for your case in court, a bench warrant
will be issued and/or your license may be forfeited.
As this is a Mayor's Court, you have a right to appeal any decision of
the court within 10 days of the final disposition in the court. To
appeal the case, it will be necessary to complete the notice of appeal
form from the clerk. This will entitle you to a trial de novo (new
trial) in the Warren County Court located in Lebanon, Ohio. |
