6th Constitutional right violated

On February 29th, 2016 I was arraigned in courtroom 8 with a public defender Wade Freitas and a Judge Bob Mcnatt. The judge made me aware what I was being charged with and I entered my plea of not guilty. Wade Freitas wrote down my next court date for March 28th, 2016 and said come by to the public defenders office so we could go over the police report.


That same day, February 29th, 2016, I went to the public defenders office to try and have the interview and get my discovery. I was told to come back in a few days cause they had nothing for me from the police dept nor the DA's office. I then went to the DA's office to try and get the complaint and or police report. The clerk said I would have to get it through my attorney and gave me my case number. 16CR-00073. I later emailed Wade Freitas.

A few days later I called the public defenders office and was made aware I was appointed to a Armando Lope. The clerk took my phone number down so he could call me back. I then emailed him requesting a interview and discovery.

On March 14th, 2016 I went to the public defenders office to have the interview but was told Armando wasn't seeing any that day cause of court. I was told I could come back later around 2 or 2:30PM to have him get my discovery. Around 4PM Armando and Wade entered the public defenders office. Armando went over the police report and complaint. He asked me why I posted the addresses. I told him its because I suspected the officers were committing some type of fraud on the loans they pulled out years prior. He asked me when I was arraigned and wanted to know when the next court date was. I told him I believe its the 28th. He then saw that the court hasn't updated my case and I should go March, 21st 2016 just in case if I get heard. I begun to ask him about a speedy trial, which would put pressure on the court and including him. He asked if I have waived on the matter and I explained I did not.

A few days go by and I called Merced court criminal division and asked for a court date. Tammy said she would have to email the clerk supervisor to have them update my case and would call me back when they do.

Today on March 21st 2016 I made sure by going to the clerks office and someone printed me out a minute order. I do find one thing odd about it. It says it was printed out the 16th and not the 21st.
