Not Guilty Plea and Advisement of Rights - Request for Court Trial

Name
Address

I understand that I have the following rights:

TO THE ASSISTANCE OF AN ATTORNEY AT MY OWN EXPENSE. 

TO A SPEEDY AND PUBLIC TRIAL BEFORE A JUDGE.  To present evidence and call witnesses at the trial.  In that regard, to have the clerk issue a subpoena without charge to compel witnesses to attend the trial and for the production of documents helpful to my defense.   

TO CONFRONT AND CROSS-EXAMINE MY ACCUSERS.  This is, to see, hear and question the witnesses against me at the time of trial. 

TO PRESENT EVIDENCE TO SHOW THAT I AM NOT GUILTY OF THE OFFENSE. 

TO REMAIN SILENT AND NOT INCRIMINATE MYSELF.   I understand that I do not have to testify at the trial unless I choose to do so.

*TO HAVE MY CASE TRIED WITHIN 45 DAYS, unless I give up (waive) that right.  The 45 day period begins to run upon entry of this NOT GUILTY plea.

Check one:

I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS FORM IS MY WRITTEN PROMISE TO APPEAR AT THE TIME DESIGNATED FOR MY COURT TRIAL.
