[QUOTE="katya02, post: 204899, member: 2884"] Had some major frustration this morning. Picked up Saturday's mail and there was a letter from the attorney saying difficult child's hearing/trial that was set for tomorrow has been 'continued' until Dec. 4. Arrgh! husband took time off work specifically for this, and it wasn't easy to get. Nice of them to give us some notice. It seems the police officer who botched the search initially and has to testify, will be away tomorrow. How convenient. :( The trouble with December is, the drive to difficult child's college town goes along a highway that can be a deathtrap in bad weather. We usually have a good winter storm right around Thanksgiving. So if WE can't get to court due to weather, difficult child suffers for it, while the police officer gets to delay the whole thing at her convenience. This also takes the trial more than six months since filing the charges. On the 'application for continuation' there's a paragraph that the defendant is supposed to sign, waiving his right to a speedy trial, and obviously there's no signature there. I don't know how they can just blow that off. So now, after difficult child not sleeping for a week as the 'day' approached, it's a big letdown. [/QUOTE]
