I think you'd have the right for the attorney though anyway. But maybe the defendant just went for some kind of plea bargain beforehand, that would make sense then, no real need for defense attorney with a small case like that too probly.
I think there's a lot of cases like that especially for like traffic violations that went to court or something on that level, where they go for paying anyway with a signed document beforehand instead of going through the court. Might've been something like that going on here too.
