Appeal Update

Well we did it.....applied to request an appeal to a "formal hearing". IT HAS BEEN DONE! It cost $125.00 "bond" to appeal that gosh darn thing.....and then I had to write a narrative (thanks mom for helping me with this yet again) of why I feel I deserve to have an appeal. There's a catch though. The Judge can approve the appeal request or deny it. If he denies it, I am out that money and noone sees and hears anything. If he grants it and it is set for a "formal hearing" and he grants it and I am found "not guilty" at the hearing, then I get it back. If I am found guilty I don't know if I can appeal past that....but I wouldn't get back the $125.00......and I will need a LOT more therapy.

two ways to lose it, one way to keep it...........not very good odds......but I have enough reasonable doubt on my side and a lot of factual data....I don't see how he couldn't agree to the appeal AND find me not guilty......even the Officer said the scene didn't make sense to him....that has to count for something....couldn't have afforded that without a donation - so whoever you are thank you............I now just need to get an attorney for the formal hearing....not sure who to trust or all that stuff....but hopefully one that is compassionate to all involved and willing to take payments or wait for my benefits to kick in.....which I am STILL waiting for......
