It's been a while since I've posted anything about my mom's dealings with the law, so I thought I'd get people up to speed.
Today was supposed to be my mom's criminal trial. She had witnesses lined up out the door on her defense and was almost looking forward to the trial...knowing full well that she would win. She wanted to see “Evil Betty” squirm like a slug that's been freshly coated with salt. (If you don't know what I mean then you never had a childhood).
A couple of months ago my mom had her preliminary trial where the defense and prosecution get together to ask the accuser questions. “Evil Betty” was deemed the most horrible witness my mom's lawyer had ever met. She had no substance behind any of her claims and kept asking my mom to answer questions that weren't directed to her.
So, the trial was supposed to be today, but on Friday the prosecutor's office called my mom's lawyer and told him that the charges were being dropped due to insufficient evidence. Well, duh! Their office is where they look over every case that is about to go to trial and decides whether it's worth sending to the court room. His job was pretty easy this time since there is no evidence against my mom. The good news is since the prosecutor dropped the charges, my mom can still sue if she chose to (she couldn't if “Evil Betty” dropped them). She's at least entitled to pain and suffering (spending the night in jail when she clearly is innocent), lost wages, and defamation of character. That should be worth something! The bad news is that my mom won't be able to see “Evil Betty” turn her skin inside out like that slug I mentioned before. I'm sure she's happy to settle for this.
I still say that once all of this is finished we expose her in the paper. Her last assistant just quit, but was so paranoid that she would get slapped with charges, she called the police to have herself padded down in front of “Evil Betty” so that she could see she wasn't taking anything that didn't belong to her! Can you believe that? This woman must be stopped!!!

Well that's good to hear. It's probably for the best that Evil Betty didn't show up. You don't want to see her gooey insides as her scales turn inside out. Besides, all those demons, locusts and republicans would escape from the bloated carcass.
Oh wait, at least one republican already got out. Dammit.
Why would anyone waste perfectly good salt on a slug? Oh, and yes, I never did have a childhood. Does that matter?
No childhood? Is that why you collect action figures and lightsabers as an adult?
That's good news, Allison. Too bad about the lack of gooey scaley "Betty," but good that it's over and your mom can turn the tables.
