danlabruyereI'll send one to you now. Oddly enough, I'm set for trial on Monday in a CT case.

ekquisenberryLast one I did was a 3-counter with CT, Resisting, and Criminal Mischief, so it barely touched on the CT and wouldn't be much use.
Advice on something you've probably done a long time ago, but make sure you've charged the offense under the correct statutory manner and means.
One of my first potential CT trials, I realized far later than I should have that we had charged it as "and had notice that entry was forbidden" when he was actually told to leave and refused to go.

Arron SwinkThanks for that reminder. One mini heart attack later I checked our Information and we're good to go!
