Okay Court Date and The Sweet Men

Hey....

They let me out for good behavior!! hee.hee. with a fine! I get so annoyed with our justice system. Sometimes it is a damn joke...I truly think that middle America gets the raw end of the deal. The lower income get court appointed attorneys, the rich can afford attorney and then there is the middle. I could have walked away with no fine, nothing....but they would have to adjourn because the prosecutor didn't have the authority to totally dismiss my case. Mind you, they hadn't seen the evidence...soI was so damn pissed. IF I adjourned, I would have been dismissed but next time around....I would have had to take another day off from work AND paid my lawyer....so in the end, costing me more. RIDICULOUS!!

Sadly, it costs too much to prove your innocence in this country!! And most of us can't afford the hefty lawyer fees so we end up pleading down!! So yes, my fine was the same as the girl in front of me who had 13 counts held against her....she attacked her boyfriend and his girlfriend, threatening them with a knife and damaging their home. Oh, she did get 4 restraining orders too but the same fine?!?

RRRRRRR!!! Oh I forgot to mention the court officers and translator did remember me! how funny, they actually were sweet to get me out of the cold!! There was a 25 minute line to get through security....so it is worth being nice to someone in the past. And embarrassing, people at the court kept thinking I was a lawyer....I guess I don't look like most of the female potential criminals that walk through the door.

Yesterday, was a nice evening...really nice evening actually. Mr. Podcast and I chatted. Tadpole asked me for a tentative coffee......yes, you read right...he asked me for coffee today...of course if we can work it out...

And Mr, Fireman contacted me to see how my jail day went...so sweet. He's going to call me in the morning...we flirted over email last nght a little!!

There is one thing hanging over my head tonight, I tossed and turned all night...it's a biggie and well I am hoping that I am wrong..I know I am being mysterious but I need to make sure first. Why can't life be more simple?
