including an online calendar. Now comes news that all Parker County court dates have been wiped from their system by a "support person." I guess that means someone in the Support Section of a company that provides some software the county uses. The County's system administrator referred to that person as not very "competent" --- probably in response to a million questions of ,"Just how did this happen?"
Court administrators are asking lawyers to tell them of any court dates they have scheduled. Hmmm. If you do criminal defense work, that would technically mean volunteering information to assist in the prosecution of your client. That's a little tricky.

"That's a little tricky"...??
Actually, I think it's called ethical. Seeing that defense attorneys are also officers of the court.
Not The Real Slim Shady
Sure, I'll give you the info....
for a fee.
Sounds like a delay tactic to me.... isn't that what you lawyers do best?
delay, send a bill, delay, send a bill, delay, send a bill, delay, send a bill, delay, send a bill, delay, send a bill, delay, send a bill.
Well, they should have called us. We have taken care of the systems of 2 courthouses and numerous title companies without losing 1 megabyte of data. Trouble is, anybody can take a computer maintenance class these days and hang a shingle up. The worst ones are the ones that actually have an associates degree in Computer Technology. They are dangerous because they actually think they know it all.
I'm sure the county's system administrator can restore their last backup and get the information, provided he is very "competent".
The story indicates there is no backup.
IT person with no back up of their system is not very competent.
Re: asking lawyers to tell them of any court dates they have scheduled.
I do hope they are going to read you your rights first.
No seriously, this is very interesting to me, in a law sort of way. Please keep us a breast of the outcome.
It's hard being honest huh green?
It's Parker County. What did you expect? They were probably too busy taking banjo lessons to bother with that computer thingy...
In my experience, many IT people know a lot more ways to screw up a computer than you and me, but they are not very good at fixing any of them.
How would disclosing court dates affect you, or the prosecution?
I'm sure theres more to it..... when you have the time to explain.
What would happen if the court and prosecution failed to show up but the defendant did?
