Lonsdale goes 4 for 4 on denials of Community Service…She did allow a 3rd month for 2 defendants to come up with the money. The first one had 2 camera tickets and defendant said she does not work and on limited income. She was given the rare extra month since the fine was $960. The second one said she was pregnant and was given the 3rd month to pay the $680 for driving on a suspended license. I popped into Susan Lew (pro tem in 608) and heard just a handful of cases. I believe all except mandatory minimums were reduced to the $110 minimum and the one community service request was granted for 33 hours.
