the honorable...??... presiding

so it turns out the court isn't to picky on who shows up for court...

i went in about fifteen minutes early to the court house to hopefully speak with someone on rather or not he had been brought over... with luck the courtroom had a kind deputy who was quite helpful, they had not brought him over, and was still in fact in the city jail (but I knew that one). So the deputy said I could just go up when his name was called to let the judge know. They actually called all of the officers cases to the front since there were only like twenty people in the courtroom. I went ahead and got in the back of the line and waited my turn. When I got to the front the i began explaining to the judge that he was still in the jail and the cop proceed to relay the charges though they wished to drop the failure to obey a traffic light due to charging him with a reckless driving, the judge then asked the officer what the other charge was which was driving without a license and proceeded to ask me if he had one, i replied he in fact did not, and that will be $800 plus cost. I guess it's the same as being tried in your absence?? But at least it's not being continued.

I wish I could say the same for my life.
