Insult upon injury

LIterally. Thank you guys for the good thoughts, I really appreciate that.

I was dismissed at about 10, no court room for us. Since the defense hasn't requested a speedy trial, we'll get bumped, in favor of those who did. This is a defense strategy to demoralize the victim and age the case. I'm so psyched that they get to call the shots.

I'm on call til 2, slim slender chance we go today, if not, next day well try for will be in Jan.

I'm in a nice part of town, sitting in a cafe having coffee and a snack, did some shopping.

Sigh. It's a beautiful day tho.

"Sigh. It's a beautiful day tho."

I am in awe of your good nature that you can say that after what occurred today. I admire your perserverance and you ability to appreciate what is good. You are a rainbow.

thank you for that. I really don't feel like a rainbow, I feel like a very black heavy cloud with no where to go. :-(

I'm struggling with the fact that victims have very few rights, seems like we just go along. I know there are good people whose job it is to help me and society achieve justice, but when you're the victim, it seems pretty cold.

If I come across as rainbow-like, awesome. :-)

*Hugs* I'm sorry it's being dragged out yet longer, how stressful for you! I wish the health of the victim was at the forefront of these decisions, not the convenience of the court and/or the defense. Ugh.

Sending lots of good thoughts and serenity...
