Welcome back!

Well, I went to court today. I was not the defendant in this case. Boy did I learn some things though.

Getting an attorney that knows what he is doing helps. That is not all however. This attorney filed for ‘discovery’ which should have led to the district attorney’s office showing everything that it had as evidence. It did not lead to the uncovering of all of the evidence. Some of the photographic evidence ‘got run over by a car’ of all things. Of course those police officers did not try to replace it. They did not even question all of the witnesses that were present, only certain people, not everyone.

When the defense attorney objected to the last minute addition of ‘evidence’, the judge let it happen and over ruled the defense attorney. Innocent until proven guilty definitely did not apply in this case. The defendant had already been in jail for 11 months before any trial. Our judicial system and system of law and order - isn’t in order at all.

Later the district attorney got up and twisted the testimony of the people involved and when the defense attorney protested, the judge over ruled him again. I did not see justice happen in this case. It really bothers me A LOT.
