second appearance

at the second date with my new mistress i brought the kids with me. i didnt have a lot of choice.

the prosecutor took me back into the jury room. the kids romped around while we talked.

she asked me what i wanted to do and i said i what i said before - not guilty. she asked if i wanted to take a deferral and it would go away in 90 days. i said no, im not guilty. she told me sho could srt up a drivers course and that would make it go away. i said that was a waste of time as i have driven commercially in different jobs and am a good driver, having driven most of my life. she asked me if i wanted a judge or jury trial. i said i wanted a jury trial.

i also told her the whole story and explained i wasnt speeding and that i am also a good citizen, shop locally whenever possible, support the community and attend functions like parades and the fireworks ont he fourth of july. i feed the deer and watch for them religiously. i usually have my kids with me and take pride in being careful and watch for other people and school zones and blah, blah blah. im just who they want in town. also, i have enough burden caring for my grandkids with no help from anyone, especially the state. i dont need this.

she looked at her computer and said she reviewed the tape and didnt see anything wrong with the the stop. then she said she would talk to the officer and if there was something iffy about it she would drop the charges and send me notice.

thats fair. better than a slap in the face. i took the kids and left.

between this meeting and getting notice of trial i had moved and was dealing with this spider bite. they didnt have my new address so i got notice about two weeks before trial, the letter dated about ten days before i received it being forwarded.

i though about what i would do. i knew glax had been fighting a ticket and asked her what she thought. as this loving woman is compelled to do, she sent me about twenty emails with all kinds of info in them. i glanced at a couple of them but havent even opened most of them. the subjects alone and what little i did see and hear from her convinced me that i would have to be like them to play their game. im not like them. so i took the lords advice and prepared nothing. i just kept the truth of it in my head as clear as i could and figured the truth would have to do.
