That just might be your way out. But what do I know.

Of course, I'm not licensed as a lawyer in CA or IA, and I am not qualified to render advice on the laws of those states. Please seek competent counsel in your area. This does not constitute legal advice, nor does this post create an attorney-clietn relationship.

Wow, Thanks Devils...

I talked to the DA in Iowa and she said I don't need to worry about it. I do not need to appear at all. She said they sent those out to anyone who had been involved in the accident. She didn't realize I was in CA.

I asked if I could get some written confirmation of my release and she said they didn't normally do that and that I don't need to worry about anything.

Should I call them back and ask for written release? I don't want to end up with Dog on my ass

I would at least ask them to fax/email something that would serve as proof that you were not required to be present.

I'd still call a lawyer. You'd hate to have a warrant for your arrest for failure to appear.

A DA is a lawyer

I'd say if the state is paying for transportation, get a hummer limo and a couple stripper companions and make a month out of it

Yeah, call the DA's office back and have them send you paperwork releasing you from having to appear. IANAL, but I'd want it in writing in case there was ever a question later.
