Yipee! I'm done done done.. K, well it went well and not so well. I got there first thing this morning, waited around forever.. Ya know how it goes. I was in a locked room with two other witnesses.. I went out for a few smokes, but being alone I was way to edgy and couldn't smoke.. the dvd with my statement didn't work so I couldn't review it. Coming back from my last smoke, the victims services person (cheryl) grabbed me and told me that the crown wanted to speak to me. As she was leading me in, she informed me that the sob's lawyer tried to walk into our private room! Dirty dirty tatics to try and get the sob in there at the same time as me. She was stopped but there are complaints against her for that now, as it's not allowed and she knew it. Anyways, so the crown talked to me. We stayed the charges, which means he's still charged for the next year but we do nothing about it. We have one year to do something about it if we want. That way he doesn't get acquited and doesn't get worse with me and, even better, he's still being watched. If he pulls anything off in this time period, than the charges are brought back along with new ones and it's an indictable offense (meaning good ol jail time for sob.) He also had to plead guilty to missing court dates (haha.) So I sat in the court room with cheryl to watch for myself.. that sob sat in the same pew as me, as close as he could get! Unreal the balls on this man. Cheryl was like don't move don't look, this is where he is.. Thank god for that woman.. They went through all the offenses, stayed the one charge, then made him plead guilty. God that was great to hear those words come out of his mouth! That alone was worth it. He got 30 days probation and a charitable donation for that charge. I had the biggest shit eating grin on my face at that point. It wasn't much, but he has no previous record so we are lucky we got this. Then I had to wait 15 minutes for him to clear the building so I could leave. LMAO, there was 5 cops there! And me, I was the only person in there! The cops made a point of showing up becuase he was so disrespectful to them, the courts etc..
No one wanted me testifying as I was a mess (okay still am, but it's over.) I'm very grateful that they worked it out this way to spare me the shit his lawyer would have put me through.
I did go alone. Never did ask anyone and really really regreted it this morning. I was so freaking jumpy.. man my heart felt like it was going to explode.. Anyways, it's over, thank god, now maybe I can start calming down and get myself back on track. I lost 5lbs this week just from running to the washroom. I had one hour of sleep and can barely eat. so my focus now is letting this stress go and getting back up to a healthier point..
I did it guys. I made it. I never passed out or puked (mind you I would have if I was on the stand.. LOL) and I'm in one peace... their tatics didn't work.. nana nanan
