I just received a call from Victim Services regarding the shooting trial, set to begin next Tuesday, Jan. 8th.
The man that shoot at me in Nov. 2011 has decided to take the plea bargain I offered him over 9 months ago; 6 months in prison with endless probation and a class 2 felony on his record. I do background checks almost daily as part of my job, and I understand the weight of having a class 2 felony on record.
The shooter, if this did go to trial and was convicted, would be looking at a minimum 4 years imprisonment with the possibility of 12.5 years.
He should consider himself lucky that I agreed to the 6months... douche bag.
Hopefully, by the end of the day, this whole thing will be over with and I can start my New Year free of this man.
Credit: I have no idea who took this... but it sure is purdy.
"Trial vacated" = will be music to my ears. It's taken 13 months to get to this point... 13 long months, but I'm pleased. Besides, the shooter was digging himself into a deeper hole than he was already in.
Douche bag's "defense" was that I pulled a gun on him (Ha!) or rather, I pulled my cell phone on him, which he thought was a gun. (Seriously, THAT'S his defense?!)(weak sauce). When Jefe was interviewed by the defense atty he asserted it was ridiculous that I'd "pulled my cell phone" on this man, for I am a woman who never never uses a cell while driving...ever.
Huge *Thanks* to all my friends for supporting me while this bullshit has gone on for over a year. Special thanks to Jefe for helping me to get this man arrested in the parking lot of Target two days after the shooting. (THAT was an experience in itself, one I could not of done by myself)
The prospect of a 6 day trial has been heavy on my shoulders ...now I feel weightless and high on Life.
Let us know!
