Couldn't write yesterday. Went to court with B for the last time. The judge withdrew the plea deal that was formally offered to A. and has decided to give him five years hard time on top of the six almost seven years in Alameda County jail. My beloved friend has hit the wall. She did everything including spending her entire life savings of $10,000 to hire an attorney who did nothing until the money was all gone and A. had to accept a court-appointed attorney who had a career in the Public Defender's office until she opened a private practice. She ended up hating A. who maybe a sociopath-I don't know but something is VERY wrong there.
I am so concerned for my friend-she moved back from her beloved Colorado when friends called her to tell her that A. was in the news both TV and papers. She is of the Ute tribe and belongs naturally on the Western Slope of Colorado. She has done everything she could and what was needed was money and retired civil service social workers traditionally have little money.
Well more of this later-we are presently a computer family and S. has urgent work to complete.
About Me
- Singing Sparrow
- I almost always write in the early morning. I am an aging hippie living with my husband lover, my adult daughter,my almost adult granddaughter looking for her first full time job and my almost teenage grandson and my sister who is 11 months the younger. As the world prepares for a righteous struggle for individual independence and the correcting of the power of corporations to tell how, where and even when to live i seek the lower level where gardens grow and children learn. +++
