Da Warrant Without Statement

Summary

In Washington, a DA can issue a warrant without your statement if theres sufficient evidence. If an organization withholds evidence proving your innocence, your defense attorney can request it through discovery, issue a subpoena, or address a Brady violation. If your public defender isnt advocating effectively, communicate your concerns, request a change, or seek a private attorneys advice.
