Hi,
My brother has been incarcerated at the Twin Towers in LA for two years waiting for his trial. He had a preliminary hearing over a year ago. He was promised a copy of the transcripts multiple times but the attorney from the public defenders office has never brought them. He is quite upset with the now third lawyer on his case who hasn't even bothered to visit him one time in jail since she's been assigned his case several months ago. She just tells him oh, I'll get them during the one minute she sees him in court and never does it. I would like to obtain those transcripts for him if it is possible. His case is in the Van Nuys Court. Does anyone know how I might be able to get them from a distance. I'm in Northern California and he is in Southern. Thank you for any helpful info.!

I believe you can get some of the information from the Los Angeles Superior Court website. There is a small fee but it provides you with a summary of the case IF I remember correctly.

If the preliminary hearing has been transcribed (it takes a few weeks on average) it'll be in the court file, available for public viewing. Technically, teh court clerk owns it so you might have to buy a copy from the transcriber; but in most counties you can just have a copy made at the courthouse.
