Walker v. State
In the defendant's trial for bail jumping, he had received sufficient
notice of his felony arraignment hearing when the formal notice was not
mailed to the address he provided at the time of his arrest, but to an
address differing only in the usage of "street" vs. "lane" and was not
returned as "undelivered" to the clerk. While the notice was sent to an address on Walker Lane (the
address the defendant provided at the time of his booking and the
actual location of the defendant's residence), there is little doubt
that in the town of 1,500 it would not have been correctly delivered
when addressed as Walker Street. The bondsman also spoke with the
defendant's relative who said that the defendant had received the
notice and would contact the bondsman before that hearing date.
