Update on court...

Well we got up and left here about 6am. Finally got to Wilmington and the wait game begins. Got to talk to our lawyer. The longest talk I had with him since I hired him two months ago. Kinda felt a little better but not much. Around 10am walked to the court house to begin waiting again. Three out of 5 boys showed up the other two decided not to take the plea bargain and fight this. I personally didn't think that was a good idea but that is me. The first boy got in front of the judge around 11am the second one was about 12:30. Now we break for lunch and wait some more. the lawyer did say that he was working on getting J.'s car back which put me in a better mood. Finally around 4pm we got our chance to be in front of the judge. He got 24 months probation, and he got his car back. What a relief!!!

So back on Monday we went to get his car. We needed to have the court papers and they wouldn't be done until Monday. So we leave here around 9am get there around
11ish and of course the court papers are no where to be found. It took 1 1/2 hours to find them and when we got to the police station they were all at lunch. So again we had to wait an hour for someone to come back and boy were they pissed that the judge gave him back his car.

Well it's been a very hard lesson all the way around. We are still not done since he might have to testify in the case again the two boys who are going to supreme court. Home front is still stressful here. J. wants all his freedom back but I am not ready to trust him. This makes it stressful at home and especially with my husband since I have started to give J some freedom. We will just have to see what he does with it. But I can honestly say that he will only get one chance with me and he already took it.
