Is it okay to file a letter or a statement about a case to the Judge if you feel it is very important?

If you are simply trying to get information about a criminal case to someone, the prosecutor is a good palce to start as he or she has an obligation to share it with the otehr side.
   
   Good luck.

You are not to rely upon my note above in any way, but insted need to sit down with counsel and share all relevant facts before receiving fully-informed legal advice. If you want to be completely sure of your rights, you must sit down with an experienced criminal defense attorney to be fully aware of your rights. less

   Answered February 23, 2013 21:51. As a former judge, I can tell you that you can not have this "ex parte" communication with the judge. The judge simply will not read it an will send a copy of it to your Public Defender and the DA and send out an order for you to not attempt to directly communicate with the judge every again.
