&%$#@&(%#$(@%$)&$@#&?&%$#@ !!!
Well, it's finally over !!!
But, in typical fashion not without the usual total waste of time, energy, and resources !!!
After 26 months and 11 lost days of work, the rat bastard pleaded out and got only 9 years in prison (He
was facing 72 years, with all the charges racked up against him), with the wasted past 26 months of time in jail, playing a delaying game, counting towards that. With good behaviour cuts it looks like now he'll only actually have to do 3 years.
And to top it all off, I live in a different town than where he was being tried, and after taking a day off from work and driving the 46 miles to the courthouse to testify I end up sitting around in the courtroom waiting for two & a half hours when the DA involved in this finally comes over and tells me that the puke pleaded out the night before, and that -
"OOPS !" - he hadn't gotten around to telling me sooner. That I didn't need to come there at all and that I was free to go anytime I wanted to now.
Ever feel like choking the life out of an officer of the courts???
